Eris Paul A.K.A General Ogunboss

A prominent ex-militant leader in Bayelsa state, Eris Paul, also known as General Ogunboss, has  called on all ex-militant leaders and youths in the state not to  allow themselves to be hired by politicians to plot and perpetrate violence ahead of the December 5th Governorship election in the state.

According to Eris Paul, though the ex-militant youths and leaders have embraced the Federal government's Amnesty deal, and vowed to sustain the existing peace under the present administration, pressure is being mounted on the youths of the state to carry out violence.
