Asaba—PRESIDENTIAL Amnesty Verification Team led by Air Vice Marshal James Gbum, has arrived Delta State to verify the arms and ammunition supposedly surrendered by ex-militants who have been agitating to be included in the third phase of the amnesty programme.
Receiving the team, the deputy governor, Professor Amos Utuama, SAN, commended President Goodluck Jonathan for giving another window with the third phase for youths who were left out in the programme, describing the gesture as an indication that the president had a listening ear.
He said: “Leaving out youths who embraced the amnesty programme would have been an act of injustice. No one who was part of the agitation should be left out or else that would lead to another injustice.”
