PAP Panel Indicts Kuku, Boroh, Dokubo Over N712bn Loot

The panel, which investigated alleged corruption in the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) for Niger Delta militants, has turned in a damning report indicting three former coordinators of the Federal Government initiative for allegedly looting and misappropriating a whopping N712 billion allocated to rehabilitate and reintegrate members of the armed group into the society.
The report accused three former coordinators of the PAP, namely; Kingsley Kuku, (January, 2011 – May, 2015); Gen. Paul Boroh (rtd) (July 28, 2015 – March 13, 2018); and Prof. Charles Dokubo (March 13, 2018 – July 28, 2020) of massive looting and contract frauds, plunging the programme into a debt of over N73billion.
Excerpts of the report reads, “Successive Coordinators have mismanaged funds of PAP and consequently deprived the beneficiaries of the programme the needed skill acquisition and training required for sustainable livelihood”.
In fact, in one instance, the report noted that $9million cash was recovered from the residence of one of the former coordinators of PAP.
According to the probe panel headed by the National Security Adviser, Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd), despite the huge funds yearly allocated to PAP, “there are still a total number of 29,755 ex-militants who still rely on monthly stipends of N65,000.00 as means of livelihood.
