Nigerian president Umaru Yar’Adua has proclaimed an unconditional amnesty to all Niger Delta militants in the creeks as well as those facing prosecution in the law courts, including Henry Okah, standing a secret trial on a 62-count charge of treason, terrorism, illegal possession of firearms and arms trafficking. The pardon comes with a 60-day deadline for militants to drop their arms, renounce criminality and sign a form to be of good behavior.
