Only recently, Point blank news reported how the Coordinator of the Niger Delta Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) Prof. Dokubo and the Director of Finance and Accounts (DFA) Mr. Ityohuma Isaac Saawua have perfected plans to loot the monthly N5billion expected to be released by the Federal Government to the agency anytime soon.
