Two young cultists , Obruche Gregory and one Victor (surname unknown) who were allegedly accused by the Joint Task Force of being part of those responsible for the killing of its members in 2015 are said to have bolted away and their whereabouts unknown.
Obruche Gregory , Isaac Odion and Victor’s group were allegedly accused by the JTF in 2015 of responsible for the killing of two JTF members in the creek where their cult gang operated.
The duo of Obruche Gregory and Isaac Odion were said to be part of ex-militants who returned to the creeks in the first year of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration protesting that the amnesty programme of the Federal Government to rehabilitate the ex- militants was placed in the wrong hands.
It was gathered that while Isaac Odion and many other of their group were arrested by the JTF over the allegation, Obruche Gregory was said to have mysteriously escaped and his whereabout has been unknown since 2015.
Gregory whose childhood history is said to be a tragic one as he was said to have lost his family members to the Ewvreni war back in the early 2000s is said to be a calm and easy going young boy who was drawn into militancy for lack of job.
After escaping arrest, he was said to have got information from his arrested members on the treatment meted to them by the JTF in detention and he bolted away with his whereabouts unknown since 2015.
It was gathered that with the general election coming up in few months, the JTF has intensified its action to ensure peace in the Niger Delta region and has intensified effort in getting those that are believed to be terrorizing the peace of Niger Delta.
