Gen. Boroh should concentrate on the Amnesty Program only.”

They stressed that if the amnesty boss goes ahead with awarding the surveillance contract to the kidnappers, the host communities in the Niger Delta region will resist him stiffly.
High Chief Benjamin Tamaraebi described Brig. Gen. Boro’s statement is “an aberration a staunch vomit, an affront to the host communities which should be visited with stiff opposition”
