JTF kill John Togo's aide, nabs another militant

THE Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger Delta, shot dead a fleeing militant, suspected to be a member of John Togo’s Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, at Aladja, near Warri, Delta State, yesterday. The soldiers also arrested another militant, who was fleeing to Warri  to seek refuge, following the intensive manhunt for NDLF members by the JTF in area.


JTF spokesman, Lt. Col. Timothy Antigha, who confirmed the incident, said, “as part of the on-going mop up operation, following the sacking of several John Togo camps in Bobou Creek and environs, the JTF is continuing in the pursuit of fleeing militants.   In this regard, a JTF check point in Aladja area of Delta State, acting on a tip-off at about 12p.m., yesterday, apprehended two John Togo militants, who were sneaking into Warri.
“One militant attempted to escape, but was shot on the leg.  I regret to inform you that the victim later died.  His corpse has been handed over to the police for further investigation,” he said.
“JTF wishes to warn law abiding citizens to disregard the purported death of John Togo,  remain vigilant and report suspicious individuals milling around their communities to appropriate security agencies for immediate action,” he added.
