Ex-Niger Delta militants are threatening to shut down oil pipelines, government houses, and the National Assembly, over plans by National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, to end the Amnesty Programme.Chairman of the third phase of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, Ebi John, said the threat would be carried out if the government does not fully revive the programme in the coming weeks.
The ex-militant leader called on the caretaker committee to make its findings public and punish those that are culpable in the probe. "So, I am calling on our father, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and current Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva; they were the persons whose pioneering efforts brought about the programme, they should not let it die, being their brainchild.
“The contractors are suffering. Yet we were told the Amnesty office has over 15 billion naira, if not more and yet the contractors are not paid. The caretaker committee, should as a matter of urgency, pay the contractors as most of them are dying in abject poverty.
