Jackrich petitions Tinubu, seeks integration of 4,000 ex-agitators into Amnesty Programme

High Chief Sobomabo Jackrich, the leader of the Niger Delta Liberation Force, has petitioned President Bola Tinubu to integrate over 4,000 members of his camp into the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP). In a recent submission to the State House, Jackrich also demanded a thorough audit of PAP's finances and a review of beneficiary allocation since the program's inception in 2009.

The ex-agitator claims members of his camp have been left out of PAP for 17 years despite a 2021 Senate resolution and 2,000 allocated slots. Jackrich submitted Senate documents, correspondence, and resolutions to support his claims. He warned that unresolved grievances could lead to unlawful means of expression among the affected group.

Jackrich aims for a preventive intervention that would restore confidence in PAP and prevent potential security challenges.
