ABUJA—Ten militants of South wing MEND, formerly coordinated by militant leader, Young Shall Grow, yesterday issued a 7-day ultimatum to the National Coordinator of the Amnesty programme, Chief Timi Alibe, to ensure improvement in their welfare.

The aggrieved militants lamented that their threat was predicated on their abandonment by Chief Timi Alaibe and their leader, Young Shall Grow.

In the statement by Commander Egbes and nine others, the militant leader said: “We will mobilize other members of the defunct militants as we  are very angry the way Alaibe has treated us.”

They noted that they were supposed to benefit from a housing project promised them but lamented that their boss and the national  coordinator on amnesty had abandoned them, while they enjoyed themselves in Abuja.
