Former militant commander, Israel Eshanekpe, has said that the disruption of a meeting summoned by the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nsima Ekere, on Tuesday, was the handiwork of miscreants and not former militants as being alleged by uninformed members of the public.
Eshanekpe, in an email to ZENITHBLOG.com on Wednesday, explained that the disruption of the meeting which was called by the commission’s Managing Director to investigate allegations of corruption and contract racketeering, was condemnable even as he said street urchins and miscreants who lurk around the commission’s premises were the brain behind the disruption.
