THREE years ago, he was one of the militants carrying guns in the creeks of Niger-Delta, but on March 19, he returned from an 18-month intensive training in the United States of America, USA, a qualified marine engineer.

His name is Engineer Moses Gbogun, a beneficiary of the Federal Government’s amnesty programme for militants.

Brimming with pride, the Egini (Udu)- born Engr. Gbogun arrived Osubi Airport, Warri, Delta State, six days ago, from Florida, describing the amnesty programme as a huge success.

He was full of praises for President Goodluck Jonathan for the transformation that had taken place in his life, as well as all those who worked behind the scene to make the programme a success.

Gbogun said he was trained in one of the best schools in the United States, adding that there would never be the need to return to armed struggle, as the amnesty programme initiated by the Late President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua and developed further by President Goodluck Jonathan was a life- time opportunity that should never be squandered by any beneficiary.

His words, “I want to use this opportunity to thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his benevolence at making the amnesty programme work. I also want to commend the commitment of Dr Kingsley Kuku, Adviser to Mr President on Amnesty and Rehabilitation of ex militants”.

Nice one. Congratulations to Moses Gbogun, he can now take his place as a functioning cog in the wheel of Nigeria's economic progress, as well as in his community. Its a complete turnaround.

Congrats,nice thing.Hope they get him employed before story follow afterwards for redundant waiting o!!!! Why have they excluded the top shots of the militant groups from the trainning. consdiering that its also going to add value to there lifes.Abi they prefer to get contracts and pay than add knowledge?They should ensure some one like Asari is thought anger management,conflict resolution and public manners.I think he needs it

once a militant ...(somebody help me complete that statement). if monkey likes let him go to america, the best u can get out of that monkey is to call the monkey an american monkey. what we have in moses is just an additional title to his name. he used to be Militant moses gbogun now he is eng. militant moses gbogun.
if what the federal govt has done is good for one militant, it can as well be good for other kidnappers and boko haramers.
we look forward to reading same news as he or they were former boko haramers and kidnappers but now they are pilots or doctors.
useless country, useless news.save one life and kill 1,000. if this same media reports against the govt tomorrow, they will become anti govt and face firing squad.
