Not
fewer than 200 former militants from the Niger Delta on Wednesday stormed the
National Assembly in protest of the non-payment of their allowances in Abuja.
The
protesting militants who carried placards and sang various solidarity songs
called on National Assembly members to intervene in the non-payment of their
allowances by the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and
Coordinator of the Programme, Retired Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh.
According
to them,”We are not here to disturb the peace of the Nation, but to call on the
government to pay our allowances as we are suffering. The amnesty office owes
us amnesty allowances running to millions of Naira and we want our money,”
spokesman of the protesters said.
The
former militants also called for the removal of Gen. Boro, who they described
as the stumbling block towards the payment of their allowances.’
