Milland Dikio, Administrative Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme<\/strong>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In given more insight about the problem, Gen. Dimaro said the whole issue started in the early part of last year 2021 when Ecobank Plc, the former bank he was operating with his boys closed their accounts due to BVN as well as other documents required from them by the bank in which they could not earlier provide for the bank at that time due to short time notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed that as result of that, he decided to change bank from Ecobank to FCMB Plc, which the former bank agreed and wrote an official letter for them in that effect and submitted at the amnesty office on 17th August, 2021, in which the amnesty office acknowledge it and approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him said: &#8221; After changing the fifteen ex-agitators account details, the amnesty office paid two months that is August and September 2021 in their new FCMB account details through a mobile transfer with the following account details, Cr Amt:NGN131,500.00<br \/>AC: **9013<br \/>DESC: NIP FRM SANUSI IDRIS-S<br \/>DT:17\/02\/22 09:27<br \/>BAL:NGN131,518.44<br \/>Get Our Mobile App https:\/\/on.fcmb.com\/A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since thereafter that illegal mobile transfer payment, they deliberately withheld my boys monthly stipends from October 2021 to February 2022, making up to five months without given any cogent reason.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; I have made frantic efforts to see with Col. Milland Dixon in order to Complain my plight to him but l was deprived in the office from seeing him. Meanwhile, l was able to met with the Head of Reintegration Officer (HRO), Hon. Alfred Kemepade, on several occasions in regards to the issue, he assured me of handling the matter immediately but up till now, nothing has been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>l have been going to the office in Abuja from Delta State almost every month waisting my scarce resources just to inquire why they refused to pay the five months salary of my boys but what they told me was that the account office wrongly paid the money to project account and that they will rectify it within a month so as to pay my fifteen affected beneficiaries but to no avail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As am talking to you now, they have not even uploaded my boys new FCMB account details in the given platform, which is the amnesty payroll system. I am convinced that they have sit upon the five months salary of my boys or shared it amongst themselves that is why they refused to upload our new account details in the amnesty payroll. I am using this medium to called on EFCC and ICPC to investigate the matter in order to bring to book those that have embezzled our five months stipends&#8221;, he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Gen. Dimaro called on President Muhammad Buhari, NSA, Senate President Armed Lawan, Speaker House of Reps, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Defense Staff, Chief of Air Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, DSS Director General and the Inspector General of Police to hold Col. Dixon Milland and Alfred Kemepado responsible for any breach of peace in the Niger Delta as result of any further delay of payment of the five months outstanding stipends they are owing the ex-agitators , the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coastal News Warri_____ Niger Delta Ex-agitator and the leader of DELTA BASE CAMP 2, EMADAJA,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,12,14],"tags":[98,138,239,358],"class_list":["post-1941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-insecurity","category-opinion","tag-col-dikio-fail-to-pay-outstanding-stipends-in-24-hours","tag-dimaro-threatens-break-down-of-law-and-order-in-niger-delta","tag-just-in-ex-militant-general","tag-should-amnesty-boss"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/screenshot_20220327-204023_whatsapp-1.jpg?fit=1080%2C695&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1042,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2021\/11\/19\/breaking-niger-delta-ex-militants-demands-return-of-weapons-surrendered-to-fg\/","url_meta":{"origin":1941,"position":0},"title":"BREAKING: Niger Delta Ex-Militants Demands Return Of Weapons Surrendered To FG","author":"Coastal Times","date":"November 19, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Coastal News Ex-militants under the Phase III of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) in Delta State have demanded for their guns and other weapons which they surrendered to the Federal Government in 2011.
