Leaked Documents: Group Opposes Harassment Of PAP Officials

A group, the Niger Delta Civil Servants Congress (NDCSC), has warned the interim administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), major general Barry Ndiomu (rtd), against the ongoing harassment of the programmes members of staff following the leakage of confidential documents by the amnesty office.

NDCSC in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday by its convener, Wisdom Bonfieme, asked the Ndiomu to accept responsibility for what he described as an embarrassing leakage instead of subject employees of the office to unfair treatments.

Bonfieme lamented that the PAP administrator resorted to confiscating mobile phones of workers subjecting innocent employees to pains and harsh working environment.

He said: “We have a painful circular with us which suggests that Ndiomu actually stopped members of staff from using their phones in the PAP premises.

“Some members of staff, who spoke with us on grounds of anonymity expressed sadness at the development and how the environment is being run highhandedly and that they work in hostile environment.

“We call on Ndiomu to behave as a leader and accept the responsibility for the leakage. He shouldn’t push his shortcomings to his innocent members of staff serving our fatherland

“We read reports by groups, who accused Ndiomu of leaking the documents to support his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in the forthcoming Bayelsa State election.

“But that is not our concern, our concern is for Ndiomu to accept his lapses and stop intimidating Nigerian workers with soldiers.”
