The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator, Amnesty Programme, Charles Dokubo, has vowed that the federal government will unmask and prosecute the perpetrators as well as sponsors
of the mindless looting of empowerment starter-packs meant for distribution to impacted communities in the Niger Delta.
Mr Dokubo noted that but for an instruction passed by the authorities to the security forces against shooting at the invaders; several lives would have been lost, giving the opposition an opportunity for incitement of communities in the Niger Delta to violence a few days to the presidential and national assembly elections.
He dismissed the conspiracy speculations making the rounds on the incident, expressing optimism that the Special Investigative Panel which was set up after due consultations with the highest level of the nation’s security services, would unravel the truth and identify the perpetrators and their sponsors.
Its terms of reference includes but not limited to ascertaining the remote and immediate causes of the incident and identifying persons remotely and directly connected with the looting and vandalisation of the facility.
