‘We did not waste Amnesty funds’ – General Boroh

Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Program, Brigadier General Paul Boroh has denied reports alleging that he purchased official vehicles for his office worth N157 million.

Boroh also said he never inflated the amount believed to have been spent on training the ex-militants between November and December of 2015.

In a press statement released on Monday, February 15, General Boroh revealed that the Amnesty Office adhered strictly to globally accepted standards of transparency and openness in opening the details of its financial transactions.

He also stated that the office followed due process in executing all its transactions in the 2015 budget allocation, paid all accrued fees in training allowances owed since 2013-2015 and saw to the return of over N400m in unspent funds to the national treasury.

While explaining the achievements of the program under this administration, General Boroh in the statement, stated that the Presidential Amnesty Program has without doubt, achieved its mandate of helping in stabilising ‘a volatile Niger Delta region’.

General Boroh also urged the public to ‘disregard misleading information in the public being spread by disgruntled persons whose aim is to derail and distract the process of the sustainable reintegration of ex-agitators into the society’.
