Ex militant leader Ebikamowei Ben alias Boyloaf

Niger Delta ex-militant leader, Ebikamowei Victor Ben, alias Boyloaf, has expressed satisfaction with the modus operandi of the Special Adviser to the president on Niger Delta Affairs, Gen. Paul Boroh and warned politicians in the regon to stop interferin in the activities of the amnesty programme to avoid derailing it.
In a statement made available to the press in Abuja. The ex- millitant leader said, , “We are satisfied that Boroh is working closely with the main actors to bring about the needed peace and reintegration in the Niger Delta. 
We hereby warn against any attempt by politicians to turn the programme into a centre for settlement and political gains. Let the politicians look elsewhere for benefits."
“We demand that all peace-loving Nigerians should join hands with the SA on Niger Delta to ensure the success of the amnesty programme to bring about the needed peace, unity and stability in the region.”
He called on the politicians whom he alleged are making moves to hijack the amnesty programmes to stop any act capable of triggering another round of avoidable crisis in the region.
He accused the politicians of wanting to make gains for doing nothing and are bent on destroying the gains made by the government in tackling security challenges in the Niger Delta with the Amnesty programme and warned them to desist from such.
Further, he warned, “Anything that distracts from the original concept of using the amnesty office to cater for those who surrendered arms and accepted amnesty by promptly paying them their stipends and empowering them to stand on their own, would trigger new lease of crisis, which we don’t want.,
