For the second time, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND)
wishes to dissociate itself from an impostor and fraudster, a self acclaimed Prince
Joseph Etella Harry who first claimed to speak for MEND but is now claiming to
speak for a faction of MEND controlled by Tompolo over the amnesty issue.

MEND has no faction and has never interacted with this individual over the amnesty
issue.

Our integrity and reputation is something we will guard jealously at a time when
criminals have tainted the amnesty program with bribery and corruption.

By compromising certain individuals to put up a show aimed at deceiving the public
that the amnesty program is on course, MEND is watching the charade from a distance
and can predict the outcome.
