Following the surrendering of arms by some militants in Imo state, Governor Rochas Okorocha has created an amnesty committee, appointing his wife Nneoma Nkechi as its chairman, "to show the importance of the committee," Vanguard claims.
The Transition Committee chairmen of oil producing LGAs Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta, the Assembly members from the two state constituencies, the managing director of Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC) and the Special Assistant to the Governor on Niger Delta, are also members of the committee.
Governor Okorocha asked the Amnesty committee to write to the oil companies not to deal with the communities or traditional rulers again without the approval of the State Government, and charged them to meet with all the relevant bodies and persons too.
The Amnesty Committee was also directed to work towards ensuring that the names of the militants who surrendered their guns and embraced peace are removed from any record or list of militants, organize medical tours in the oil producing areas and ensure special employment of one thousand Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta Youths into the State Civil Service. The Amnesty committee has three months to submit its report.
