Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has granted amnesty to 1000 militants from the oil producing area of Ohaji Egbema and Oguta local government areas of the state.

This follows the decision of the militants to drop their arms and embrace peace, which is crucial to finding a lasting solution to the underdevelopment and infrastructural decay in the state.

Independent recalled that militants in the area have allegedly joined their colleagues in other Niger Delta states to blow up over seven oil installations and pipelines in the area.
Rattled by the action, Okorocha organized a programme to grant pardon to all militants, cultists and agitators in the area.
The militants were said to have handed over some of their arms which comprise: Ak-47 riffles, rocket launchers, pistols, charms, machetes, knives and axes, among others.
Present at the event are the state police commissioner, state army commander, Director of SSS in Imo state as well as other security agencies.

I dont think a state governor has the power to grant amnesty to anyone


But I may be wrong


If I am right then I suspect Rochas for being complicit in making the militants


Or maybe GEJ who was named as sponsor has paid Rochas to clean this mess up


Rochas own don dey too plenty abeg it's becoming really suspicious
