Report has it that former militants allegedly led by one General Cairo, has taken over the road of East-West road, Mbiama area in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital. The road has been locked down by the protesters, thereby restricting vehicular movements.
According to them, creating the blockade is to send a message to the Federal Government that they are not ready to accept ‘no’ for an answer.
They are also complained about the non-payment of their monthly stipend by the Federal Government, thereby issuing a 7-day ultimatum.
The protesters say they won’t remove it until they receive a phone call from the amnesty office agreeing to pay them their outstanding allowance owed them.
President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Charles Dokubo on March 13, 2018, to replace the former coordinator, Brigadier-General Paul Boroh (Retd).
The President directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to carry out a full investigation into the activities of the Amnesty Programme from 2015 to date, especially allegations of financial impropriety and other acts that are allegedly detrimental to the objectives of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
