The top hierarchy of the Joint Task Force named �Operation Restore Hope,� Effurun, Delta State is not impressed by the roles being played by a committee set up by the state government to ensure security in the waterways, suspecting the connivance of the body with the recent activities of militants in the state.
A top security source told Sunday Tribune on Saturday that the security outfits in the state had been suspecting the body known as Delta Waterways Security Committee (DWSC) of conniving with hoodlums to cause violence in the state in order to justify the huge amount of money running to millions of naira monthly allocation to it.
He accused the body of promoting attacks on the personnel of the JTF, only to turn around that they had waded into the crisis and would resolve the problem between the militants and the soldiers.
�How can the members of the body claim that they have recovered rifles, snatched from our soldiers during the recent clash with militants at Olero creek and fail to hand over the suspects to the appropriate authority? This is not the first time they are doing this.
We are sure they are conniving with the hoodlums to justify the money they are collecting from the government every month�, he said.
