Niger Delta region Ex-militants has confirmed thier threat to shut down the central bank of Nigeria branches in their region after they had issued a seven day ultimatum to the apex bank to either pay up
the three months arrears allegedly owed them or face their wrath after the ultimatum expires Monday next week.
While reacting to a recent publication in one of the dailies credited to Brig-Gen Paul Boroh, the ex-militant leaders under phase 2 of the amnesty programme said that the statements credited to Boroh was unfair to them and that the decision to close down CBN was unanimously taken by all phase 2 leaders in the region and that there was no going back.
He maintained that Boroh informed them in a text message that the amnesty office was no longer responsible for payment of their monthly stipends, but the CBN.
He said: “We mean what we said earlier, at the expiration of the ultimatum on Monday next week, we are all going out, Boroh should stop misinforming and deceiving the government and the public, he forwarded us a text message that reads:
Amnesty office does not pay anymore, it’s Central Bank that pays ok’, now he is sponsoring people to plead on our behalf in public to counter our report, he should stop politicking with the amnesty programme because it has gone a long way, he should stop politicising the affairs of ex-militants because we do not have division in our midst
