A coalition of ex-militant leaders in the Niger Delta region has accused some top officials of the Federal Ministry of Justice of frustrating the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP). The coalition alleged that the programme was being sabotaged because of a suit filed by 15 companies involved in the 2019 looting of the Amnesty Training Centre located in Kaiama community of Bayelsa State.

In a protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, the group under the aegis of the Niger Delta Amnesty Beneficiary Forum said instead of the officials of the Federal Ministry of Justice led by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Beatrice Jeddy-Agba to support legal representation made by the Amnesty Office against the suits filed by the accused companies, they are busy sabotaging the Amnesty office’s efforts in court by removing legal officers from PAP.

“We are calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Security Adviser, the ICPC , EFCC and DSS to investigate the officials of the Federal Justice Ministry over their alleged role in removing the legal adviser and other legal officers from the Amnesty office.” “The public must know that five companies out of the 15 companies that are suing the amnesty office are allegedly not registered with the corporate affairs commission. They are suing for N3.8 billion, plus 21 percent post-judgment, and they are also requesting special damages which can go as high as N5 billion to N8 billion.

“We strongly believed is conspiring with Mrs. Beatrice Jedy-Agba Ejodamen, who has now filed suits through these 15 companies and claimed over N3,000,000,000 and is also in a desperate attempt to ensure that their reliefs are granted.
