Paul Tarelah Boroh.<\/p>\n<p>Boroh, who was Special Adviser on Niger Delta to President Muhammadu<br \/>\nBuhari has also been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery of the cash was made a few hours after his arrest by a<br \/>\ncombined team of EFCC and operatives of the Office of the National<br \/>\nSecurity Adviser (ONSA).<\/p>\n<p>The Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujiaren, confirmed the<br \/>\narrest and cash recovery.<\/p>\n<p>A senior security agent said Boroh was picked up from his home in<br \/>\nGwarinpa, Abuja,<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_264776821\"><span class=\"aQJ\">on Monday<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>He was reported to have been taken back to his residence at about<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_264776822\"><span class=\"aQJ\">3 a.m.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_264776823\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Tuesday<\/span><\/span>by the security operatives who raided his house for hours and made<br \/>\nthe cash discovery of $9 million at his home.<\/p>\n<p>He remains in the custody of the EFCC.<\/p>\n<p>The former adviser was driven to his home in an unmarked car after his<br \/>\narrest. His home was searched for several hours and about $9 million cash<br \/>\nwas discovered in several safe boxes in several parts of the house, the<br \/>\nsenior security agent stated.<\/p>\n<p>The combined team of EFCC and the National Security Adviser operatives<br \/>\nwere very thorough with the search. Indeed, at a point, the operatives<br \/>\nbroke all the locks in the home including his wifes closet. The recovered<br \/>\ncash has been deposited at the Office of the NSA.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari sacked Boroh last week and announced Prof. Charles Dokubo as his<br \/>\nreplacement.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement announcing Borohs dismissal, it said the NSA, Maj.-Gen.<br \/>\nBabagana Monguno (rtd), had been directed to probe the activities of the<br \/>\nAmnesty Office from 2015, when Boroh was appointed, especially allegations<br \/>\nof financial impropriety and other acts that were allegedly detrimental to<br \/>\nthe objectives of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Borohs sack, investigation and arrest by the EFCC<br \/>\nmay not be unconnected to a petition, among others, that was sent to the<br \/>\npresident last August.<\/p>\n<p>The petition to Buhari dated August 21, 2017 was signed by one Timi<br \/>\nAngalabiri, on behalf of the Niger Deltans for Accountability and Good<br \/>\nGovernance (NDAGG).<\/p>\n<p>The group requested the president to suspend the ex-Amnesty Programme boss<br \/>\nfor a credible investigative inquiry to commence into the non-payment of<br \/>\ntuition fees and living expenses of recently graduated Niger Delta<br \/>\nstudents in universities across the United States, the United Kingdom and<br \/>\nNigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner further pleaded with Buhari to use his good office to<br \/>\nprosecute Boroh and others for allegedly diverting the sum of N70 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the petition was written, rumours swirled about Borohs sack<br \/>\nby the president, but they were dismissed by the former Amnesty Programme<br \/>\nboss.<\/p>\n<p>This story about my suspension and even sack has been off and on in the<br \/>\nmedia, but the truth is that I have not been sacked and no one should<br \/>\ndisrupt the relative prevailing peace in the Niger Delta region with such<br \/>\nfake news, he had said.<\/p>\n<p>What is happening is the handiwork of political enemies and those who do<br \/>\nnot want the region to be peaceful. The rumours they are peddling are just<br \/>\nrubbish and unfounded. Under my watch, the programme, candidly speaking,<br \/>\nhas helped greatly to stabilise the region.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operatives of EFCC and ONSA, have discovered $9 million cash at the residence of the sacked Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, retired Brig.-Gen.
