Militants in the Niger Delta have vowed to unleash terror unless the federal government reinstates the sacked Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme, Retired General Paul Boroh.

The militant groups, about ten of them, including the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, gave the government four weeks ultimatum to carry out their demand.

The threat is contained in a statement issued on Monday by the leader of the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers RNDA, General Johnmark Ezonbi.

According to the group, the sacking of Boroh amounted to tampering with the template for the development of the Niger Delta.

“The federal government will hear from us at the expiration of the four weeks ultimatum as no single stone will be left un-turned as the administration preferred to go back to the recession period where Boroh played a major role by visiting the creeks with other stakeholders to prevail on the “boys “to drop their arms” and embrace peace,” the statement reads in part.

“I want to warn that any intruder into our planned action in four weeks time if the federal government fails to reinstate General Paul Boroh will be severely dealt with without mercy because our attack will make security agencies in the creek very small.

“We are fully ready to take on anybody as we have the instrumental of warfare that will make the biggest military might to marvel at our coordinated attacks.

“We are ready to dirty our rivers and creek with our oil, it is better we spill it than allow government use it to develop other parts of the country,” the militants vowed.

Last week, the federal government sacked the Boroh.

He was replaced with the Director of Research and Studies at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Charles Quaker Dokubo.

The announcement of Boroh’s sack was made in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina.

In the statement, President Muhammadu Buhari directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to carry out a full investigation into the activities of the Amnesty Programme from 2015 to date.

The probe, it was directed, should pay special attention to the allegations of financial impropriety and other acts that are allegedly detrimental to the objectives of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
