President Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the Coordinator of Presidential Amnesty Programme, Professor Charles Quaker Dokubo.
The suspension of Dokubo was with immediate effect.
The action of the president followed the recommendation of the National Security Adviser, NSA, who had set up a caretaker committee to look into the activities of the programme on the directive of the president.
The setting up of the committee was informed by numerous allegations and petitions said to be surrounding the programme.
The president has also directed that the caretaker committee set up to review the programme should oversee the running of the programme henceforth, with a view to ensuring that government objectives are achieved.
