Security operatives
attached to the Rivers State Amnesty Committee have arrested a twenty year old
member of Iceland cult group who attacked the amnesty convoy on the fifth of
this month at Akabuka in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers
State.
The suspect Mr.
Celestine Ukpaka from Obiosimi Community was arrested while he and three others
were on a robbery mission at Obiebi community after a gun battle with the
security operatives.
Speaking in an interview in Port Harcourt, Mr. Ukpaka said he was coerced into joining the Iceland cult
group.
Reacting to the
development, the State Amnesty Committee Chairman Mr. Kenneth Chinda cautioned
the cult groups in ONELGA demanding payment before they
will embrace the State amnesty programme warning that government will not pay
any group.
The Special Adviser
to the governor on amnesty said the state government will do all within its
power to ensure sustainable peace is achieved in the state.
