Special Envoy and Advocate for Change, Mr Matthew Maguire will be leaving the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to reunite with his family
within the next 24 hours.

We want to dispel any impression that he is being kept back to serve as a human
shield with the approach of Hurricane Piper Alpha.

Matthew's fate will continue to be tied to that of Henry Okah in the spirit.
