Lagos-Nigeria's Joint Task Force June 1 said troops have destroyed a militant camp close to Buguma Creek in the oil-producing Rivers State after a bloody gun battle, as the military offensive to flush out rebels from the Niger Delta region enters its third week. "The action of the JTF is aimed at elimi-nating...the criminals who are bent on causing unnecessary tension and apprehension in the region," JTF spokesman Colonel Rabe Abubakar said.
