EFCC, ONSA Arrest Boroh, Recover $9m Cash

Paul Tarelah Boroh. Boroh

Paul Tarelah Boroh. Boroh, who was Special Adviser on Niger Delta to President Muhammadu Buhari was arrested on Monday in Abuja.

Later on Tuesday morning, operatives of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA)  discovered $9 million cash at the residence of the sacked Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, retired Brig.-Gen.

The discovery of the cash was made a few hours after his arrest by a combined team of EFCC and operatives of the ONSA.

The Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujiaren, confirmed the arrest and cash recovery in response to THISDAY’s enquiries.

Buhari sacked Boroh last week and announced Prof. Charles Dokubo as his replacement. This led to the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers and 10 other militant groups on Tuesday, threatening  to attack oil installations in the Niger Delta if the sacked coordinator of the Amnesty Programme was not reinstated in four weeks.

According to newsmen, Johnmark Ezonbi, leader of the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, said the federal government would “hear from them” if Boroh was not reinstated.

He said the sacked coordinator of the Amnesty Programme played a significant role in prevailing on the militants to end the attacks on oil installations, warning that it was obvious that the government was toying with the destiny of the Niger Delta.
