Presidential Adviser on Amnesty Programme in the Niger Delta, Brig. General Paul Boroh (rtd), has slammed the the Niger Delta Avengers, the militant group sabotaging crude oil pipelines as criminals, who would not be captured in the Amnesty Programme.

Boroh who spoke to journalists in Port Harcourt in the early hours of Thursday on the sidelines of the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to flag-off the clean up of Ogoniland and the implementation of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report said “All ex-agitators captured in the Amnesty Programme have all dissociated themselves from the criminal activities of the Niger Delta Avengers. Amnesty office has dissociated itself from them as well. We are going to work with the security agencies to fish them to face the law.”

Asked if there is possibility of negotiating with them, he said: “That is not the subject matter. We have all dissociated ourselves from them. Even the upcoming ones have no room in the Amnesty Programme. We have no room for the Niger Delta Avengers in our programme.

On the threat by the militant group to continue the bombing the national assets and talking tough to the Nigerian military, he said the Avengers are talking as if they have the wherewithal to confront the Nigerian military. “One of the strengths of criminal gangs is propaganda let them continue to propagate falsehood,” he said.

He said that contrary to the views of skeptics about the success of the Amnesty programme, the federal government has benefited tremendously from the peace in the region and the ex-agitators captured in the programme are happy.

If I hear amnesty.. We will rather give them bullet to the brain and chest.. Eneter their towns and villages and fire sporadic gunshots.. Whether IOPB, MASSOB or NDA..

Look at this one, did they tell you that they are looking for amnesty There demands is straight, they want Niger Delta Republic. A simple request that will only be difficult for greedy vampires.

I am from the Niger Delta but for one day I don't support this criminals.... the govt should not give them any amnesty but use the money to develop the region.

If you say they are criminals its nothing new, afterall to buhari all Nigerians are currupt except him.

Shooting in a village sporadically is not nice. Innocent persons might be shot for no reason. Nonetheless, the Buhari administration will not dialogue with any rag tag militias, that's a fact. The militants think their propaganda will defeat the FG, but it will dawn on them very soon that no ones dares the might of the state.

They will be fished out in coming days. Right now the security agencies are trying to give them a face, and that's why all security agencies are taking their time. The DSS has also being involved.

And are they{militants} the ones to make such demands? Don't the Niger/deltans have senators and representatives?

We dont need ur Amnesty, just give us what belongs to us...

Abi is it too hard

Obodo ndi Ajuo mmadu...

I don't support amnesty, but FG should stop marginalising SE and SS. The first day I met Buhari, it was clear to me that he will never be fair to the south

Are you actually a human being or a superhuman?

If the former, the the quoted post is quit erroneous.
