Yenagoa _____ Ex-Niger Delta agitator and the leader of Bomb Blast Camp, Gen. Ebisindor Lewis, popularly known as General Iran and his over two thousand foot soldiers has threatened to petition Nigerian Military under the code name Joint Task Force (JTF) and Capt. Salisu Isa, over alleged shortchange of their amnesty entitlements having surrendered arms to the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2011 under third phase generals.
General Iran disclosed this to the Press on Monday in Yenagoa, the capital city of Bayelsa State, noted that him and his colleagues dropped arms and ammunition at Otiotio Secondary School ground to one Capt. Salisu Isa, who was in charge of collection of arms from them but he was shortchanged by Salisu lsa who had over the time promised to document him and his boys on phone calls without no action till date.
Gen. Iran accused Salisu Isa for deliberately refusing to document him and his two thousand boys in order to divert the monthly allowances meant for them into his private pocket.
He alleged that instead of Salisu Isa and JTF to rehabilitate them meaningfully into the Presidential Amnesty Programme after surrendered their arms and ammunition against oil pipeline vandalism in 2011, they have been wallowing in abject poverty due to diversion of their survival allowances and denial of any vocational/formal educational training.
Gen. Iran reiterated that his colleagues Gen. Richard and Gen. Lastman who dropped arms at the same time had been documented and rehabilitated into the Presidential Amnesty Programme but him and his two thousand boys had been shortchanged by Capt. lsa Salisu over the past ten years.
Gen. Iran used this medium to call on President Muhammadu Buhari, National Assembly, Senate President and the Speaker House of Representatives to order Capt. Salisu Isa and JTF to rehabilitate him and his boys into the Presidential Amnesty Programme for them to benefit, adding that failure to do that they will have no other choice than to institute legal action against Salisu lsa, JTF and his allies through EFCC and ICPC to go after them, he concluded.
A very good 👍 step General Iran, if they FG, JTF and the amnesty office thinks they can take us for granted, by trying to fool us after we drop our arms to them, let them know that we still know our way to the creeks and the pipe lines..
