WARRI \u2014 THE Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger Delta Monday, demanded to see the \u2018corpse\u2019 of militant leader , John Togo, for it to believe he was truly dead as reported by the media.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, JTF, which said it doubted John Togo\u2019s alleged death,\u00a0 has intensified its siege on some riverine communities and suspected hideouts of the Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, Togo\u2019s militant group, which was allegedly disbanded, May 14, in line with his instruction to his aides on his death bed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Togo\u2018s nephew, residing in Benin City, Edo State, was allegedly arrested in the crack-down by the task force at Okwagbe on Monday. With the arrest, it was gathered that Togo\u2019s wife and children had gone into hiding.<\/p>\n

Spokesman of the task force, Lt. Col. T.A. Antigha who was contacted by Vanguard\u00a0 on the latest development\u00a0 following an exclusive report by Sunday Vanguard on the demise of Togo,\u00a0 maintained that JTF was had to believe that the controversial militant leade had died.<\/p>\n

He stressed that was not aware Togo\u2019s nephew\u2019s\u00a0 arrest, adding that \u201cJTF has heard several rumours surrounding Togo\u2019s death but to say that somebody is dead, one has to prove it\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Togo\u2019s two legs were shattered in a bombardment by soldiers with jet fighters on his camp, May 12, and that he died at a riverine community in Bomadi Local\u00a0 Government Area of Delta State, two days after he was rushed to the house of\u00a0 a traditional doctor for treatment.<\/p>\n

He was reportedly buried at an unknown place on the outskirts of the town by his boys.<\/p>\n

Antigha explained to Vanguard that JTF does not rely on hearsay and since Togo did not die in its custody, and it was not aware that he died in exchange of gunfire with the task force, the reasonable thing was to see the remains before making any conclusion.<\/p>\n

According to him, JTF had made it clear before that John Togo and his managers could have possibly sold a dummy so that the search for him would be discontinued while he continued to live his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
