Fielding questions from journalists, Monday, in Abuja, Boroh said that following the presidential directive to arrest the situation, he is confident that the perpetrators will be arrested soon.
“Security is everybody’s responsibility because the implications and consequences of insecurity equally affect everyone. The Presidential Amnesty Programme is a security stabilisation programme and is not responsible for the placement and deployment of security personnel in the oil and gas facilities and assets of the Federal Government in the Niger Delta. Individuals and communities therefore have their role to play to complement government’s effort to ensure peace and security,” Boroh said.
He revealed however, that his office would soon commence another round of engagements with stakeholders within and outside the Niger delta region in order to stem the tide of the vandalism.
Boroh said he has observed that some persons are trying to exploit the current situation occasioned by the attack on the pipelines to cause tension in the region, whip up sentiments and unnecessarily politicise the issue.
