The Special Adviser to the President on Nigeria Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Committee, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, has directed the withdrawal of six students being sponsored under the amnesty programme over a violent attack on the Nigerian Mission in Russia on Monday.
It was stated that Kuku took the decision to withdraw the scholarship of the affected students after realising that the attack on the embassy was unprovoked and the reason for the attack untrue.
Kuku said in a statement by the Head of Media and Communications in the Amnesty Office, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, on Wednesday that the affected students breached the code of conduct signed by the Amnesty delegates before their departure from the country.
“Following Monday’s attack on the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow, the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta has decided to withdraw the sponsorship of six of its student-delegates at the Peoples Friendship University, Moscow, Russia, that were found to be behind the condemnable act,” the statement read in part.
