Nigeria: No Mercy for Militants After October 4 - Federal Government

By Adeola Yusuf, Harris-Okon Emmanuel, and Felix Igbekoyi. Published on September 28, 2009 by Daily Independent (Lagos).

Lagos/Warri/Asaba — Seven days to the deadline for militants to drop their arms and accept amnesty, Abuja at the weekend warned that none would be treated with mercy after October 4.

Defence Minister and Amnesty Panel Chairman, Godwin Abbe, has reportedly foreclosed extending the deadline, as requested by some militant leaders.

A source in Aso Rock said unrepentant militants would be treated like criminals once the amnesty expires.
