Each of the former militants is entitled to N65,000 per month as stipend for the period of rehabilitation. There are two rehabilitation camps in Rivers and Delta States.

The former militants camped at Aluu, near the University of Port Harcourt recently staged a protest on Nov. 16 over  non-payment of the arrears of their allowances and alleged neglect by government officials.

The Media Coordinator of the Amnesty Implementation Committee Dr Timiebi Koripamo-Agary told newsmen on phone from Abuja yesterday that the payment  commenced earlier in the day.
