Maj. Gen. Barry Ndiomu (rtd), Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), has stated that no amount of blackmail will force him to participate in fraudulent activities in the Amnesty Programme.
Ndioumu made this statement shortly after briefing Mallam Nuhu Ridabu, National Security Adviser (NSA), on the PAP’s activities thus far under his supervision.
Ndiomu stated that his administration is well aware that some people posing as ex-agitators are being paid by faceless groups and individuals to attack him.
If you like, blackmail me to the heavens and back, I will not succumb to fraudulent activities. We will ensure that we stand our ground to do what is right and just for our people, and vigorously pursue the intentions of the PAP, he affirmed.
Ndiomu warned that those who have been identified as PAP beneficiaries and are involved in spreading false narratives will be dealt with in accordance with the program’s current laws.
He recalled how, in the past, ex-agitators were used as conduit pipes to illegally siphon money from the PAP.
As a result, he urged contractors who owed money to go through the proper channels rather than spreading and sponsoring lies.
We are aware that those fighting back are those who have issues with their BVNs. How can only one person be receiving monthly stipends on several accounts linked to a single BVN? There are hundreds of cases like that. That is how deadly corruption is. When you try to fight it, it fights back.
We are aware that there are contractors who criminally connive with some staff of the PAP in the past to come up with bogus and fictitious contract sums. But my conscience will not allow me soil my hands with such fraudulent operations. It’s not going to be business as usual, he stated.
