“72-Hour Countdown: House of Reps Threatens Otuaro With Warrant of Arrest As Ex-Militants Left in Anguish—Otuaro Ignites PAP Stipend Fury!”

By Paul Ebi

Abuja — In a dramatic twist sending shockwaves across the nation, Dr. Dennis Burtu Otuaro, Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), faces imminent arrest following explosive revelations of financial misconduct and stipend neglect.

HOUSE OF REPS ISSUES 72-HOUR ULTIMATUM

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has given Otuaro a December 9, 2025 deadline to appear before the lawmakers, warning of immediate arrest if he fails to comply.

PAC Chairman, Hon. Bamidele Salam, stated bluntly:

> “We will not allow anyone to undermine the National Assembly. If he fails to appear, a warrant of arrest will be issued immediately.”

Otuaro has reportedly ignored six prior committee summons, actions lawmakers describe as “outright defiance of parliamentary authority.”

N26BN AUDIT NIGHTMARE EXPOSED

A detailed audit of PAP finances has revealed staggering irregularities:

N17.6 billion in e-payment violations

N3.6 billion disbursed without audit checks

N1.5 billion in tuition fees with no supporting documents

N1.2 billion unapproved cash advances

Alleged systemic circumvention of procurement laws

Experts warn this may be the largest financial controversy in PAP’s history, putting Otuaro directly in the lawmakers’ crosshairs.

STIPEND SNUB SPARKS OUTRAGE

Despite an increased federal budget for PAP, Otuaro is accused of refusing to raise monthly stipends for ex-militants, leaving thousands frustrated and angry.

An anonymous PAP beneficiary slammed the Coordinator:

> “He ignores the very people whose peace he is meant to protect. If found guilty, he must be arrested — justice cannot wait!”

SCHOLARSHIP GLORY VS. DOMESTIC FAILURES

While nine PAP beneficiaries celebrate UK master’s degrees in law, cybersecurity, and ICT, critics argue foreign accolades cannot conceal domestic neglect.

A beneficiary lamented:

> “We achieve globally, yet our daily survival here is overlooked. How is this justice?”

CAMP LEADERS ERUPT: ‘BETRAYAL BY ONE OF OUR OWN’

The simmering tension in the Niger Delta exploded as camp leaders from all three PAP phases accused Otuaro of “betraying the struggle” and abandoning promised leadership training.

Their December-issued open letter tore into what it calls “a silence that breeds distrust, resentment, and discontent”:

No communication

No timeline

No leadership training

> “QUIETNESS IS NOT FOOLISHNESS!” the letter thundered.

The statement warned chillingly:

> “When that day comes, no one should accuse us of ‘fighting our own.’ We have been systematically pushed into this corner.”

THE THREE NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS

1️⃣ Official statement on the leadership training

2️⃣ Fixed date — no stories, no excuses

3️⃣ Transparent communication going forward

> “No excuses. No delays. No silence,” the camp leaders insisted.

TUESDAY SHOWDOWN LOOMS

As December 9 approaches, tension grips Abuja. Will Otuaro face the committee, or will the nation witness a high-profile PAP arrest?

The stakes are clear: accountability, transparency, and Niger Delta livelihoods hang in the balance.

Communities are buzzing, political operators are unsettled, and social media has erupted with fury.

Dr. Otuaro stands at a crossroads — answer now, or face a storm no silence can calm.
