This information emerged as the Rivers State Amnesty Programme Committee plans to visit ONELGA to receive repentant cultists and criminals.

One of the Greenlander group in Omoku, who identified himself as Nath UKwusa, said they were in support of the Amnesty Programme but required more time to mobilize their members to turn in their arms.amnesty-men-2
