A clergyman in the Niger Delta area, Bishop Friday Nwator, who has a pet programme of rehabilitating repentant militants in the Niger Delta made the declaration recently at the Government House Chapel, Port Harcourt when a three-man delegation from the Presidency led by Dr (Mrs) Awosika, came to assess the level of rehabilitation embarked upon by Bishop Friday Nwator.
Bishop Nwator said that his group was ready and willing to go to the creeks to sensitise the militants against their negative tendencies.
According to him, some of the repentant militants had regretted their past activities and pledged to tow the path of rectitude and peace.
