Mr Soboma Jackrich aka Egberipapa who was arrested in December 2008 by the JTF
after he voluntarily surrendered to the Amayanabo of Buguma for a peace parley is
still languishing in Kuje prison Abuja even after his lawyer has notified the
government of his clients desire to accept the amnesty offer.

His continued detention is without any court order and he has not yet been charged
with any offense to date.

The selective amnesty parade of some individuals seems to confirm the suspicion of
many observers that the entire exercise is a charade.
