Worried by the use of sophisticated weapons of war by the militant youths prosecuting the disturbance in Warri, Delta State the Federal Government may be getting set to resort to full scale military action in the area. As part of the preparation for a military response to the crisis, Delta State governor, Chief James Ibori, will today meet with heads of security agencies. It is believed the government decision to treat the Warri crisis as a full scale military uprising was reached at a high-level meeting convened yesterday by President Olusegun Obasanjo to fine-tune the immediate movement of troops to Warri to curtail further bloodshed and destruction of lives and properties. The government is said to be particularly disturbed by the number of policemen and military officers who have been killed in the disturbance. The security meeting believed that "where some militant youths are making security agents targets of their ethnic motivated and illegal attacks, the full weight of the nation's military might be used to deal with them."
