Why Ex-Militants Are Angry With Paul Boroh

Brig-Gen-Paul-BorohEx-militants from the Niger-Delta area are very bitter with Brigadier-General Paul Boroh (rtd), Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs… “We the 50 ex-militants to the St. Kitts and Nevis arrived on December 26, 2015 due to some delays and here in St. Kitts and Nevis we spent over a month before we commenced the training on the 8th of February, 2016 and our program ended in July. Since then till date, we have been stranded and abandoned here with no food. Since July till date, none of us has gotten a single monthly stipend, even though we were each approved for a $500 stipend.”

“Even the certificates issued to us just last week were not completed because our country has not done the needful. Barely a few months after Boroh was appointed, he has amassed wealth, defrauding the federal government billions of naira. Even N3 million for each ex-militant’s kits and equipment for the training were never given to us. Now, Boroh is pocketing a whopping sum of $700,000 in school fees for his ghost 20 ex-militants that he has fraudulently bloated to 70 delegates”

“We are dying here, journalist. Please help us with your pen. We have been abandoned here by the federal government and the amnesty coordinator (Boroh). I can confirm to you now that as we are talking we the stranded 50 ex-militants here in St. Kitts and Nevis have hired the services of a lawyer in Nigeria who has written a series of petitions to relevant authorities about our plights.”
