Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan says he risked his life while pursuing peace in the Niger Delta. According to reports, Jonathan states that he went into a militant camp in the region without armed security to negotiate with militants. He frames the move as part of efforts to reduce conflict and secure peace in the Niger Delta, describing the decision as dangerous because of the lack of protective escort. The disclosures are presented as Jonathan’s personal account of his involvement in peace efforts, detailing the circumstances under which he entered the camp and the perceived risk at the time. The reports agree on the core elements: Jonathan is the speaker, the issue is Niger Delta peacebuilding, and the key action was his decision to enter a militant camp without security in order to negotiate. Both outlets present the story as a recounting of events by Jonathan rather than a newly verified independent investigation.
