A Federal Government team is expected to meet with the lawyers of the detained leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, Mr. Henry Okah, on Sunday.
Our correspondent gathered from security sources that the government team will include the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa; Minister of Interior, Major-General Godwin Abbe (Rtd) and the Director-General of State Security Service, Mr. Afakriya Gadzama. While Okah’s lawyers will be led by Mr. Femi Falana.
Our correspondent gathered that the meeting will finalise the details of government’s amnesty accepted by Okah some days ago.
It will also set the stage for a possible meeting between President Umaru Yar’Adua and Okah on Sunday or Monday.
Our correspondent learnt that Okah signed a one-page document renouncing militancy and terrorism unconditionally on Thursday, thus paving the way for his likely release on Sunday or Monday.
