Scores of ex-agitators from the Niger Delta staged a peaceful rally in Warri, Delta State, on Monday, as they expressed their disapproval towards a recent protest at the United Nations headquarters in New York against individuals such as Tompolo, who were once associated with militant groups in the region. The protesters condemned what they described as "incongruous" and "unwarranted" criticism of those involved in past agitations. They emphasized that many ex-agitators have since abandoned their violent activities and are now working towards peaceful coexistence and development in the Niger Delta. The rally was seen as an effort to clear up misconceptions about ex-agitators and promote a more nuanced understanding of their roles in regional politics.
