The demonstrators, an alliance of 225 youth bunches in the North, cautioned that they would deaden exercises at NNPC central command in the event that the agreement isn’t denied in seven days.
The nonconformists waved standards with engravings, perusing: “How could a criminal be responsible for public resources’, ‘Head of Defense Staff mobilizing different zones yet romancing Niger Delta assailants’, ‘deny the pipeline contract now’, among others.
Representative for the gatherings, Victor Duniya, expressed ramifications of the agreement was that, “a confidential resident like Tompolo will be permitted to deal with light as well as refined weapons to have the option to avert potential assaults from horrible oil bunkering cartels.”
The Federal Government had supposedly restored an extravagant pipeline observation agreement to Tompolo, who was Commander of the outdated Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND).
As indicated by Duniya, the improvement is coming at a time the North is draining lavishly because of exercises of psychological militant components, while young people are not permitted to get weapons to safeguard their networks.

Duniya proceeded: “We know that Tomopolo and his young men are significant recipients of the Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP), wherein the Federal Government under the authority of the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua stretched out same to the anxious adolescents of the Niger Delta.
“Till date, assumed ex-instigators are being supported to elite colleges, others are being prepared to get abilities, while those with laid out organizations are continually being engaged.”
