The protesters had turned up for a verification exercise at Yakubu Gowon Stadium around Elekohia to facilitate the payment of their arrears of allowance but there were no officials from the amnesty office.
Our correspondent UCHENDU EJOIWHOR reports that the ex-militants matched from the Elekohia stadium down to Air Force Junction on Aba Road, chanting solidarity songs.
The protesters accused the officials of the Federal Government Amnesty Office of insincerity in handling of the programme, just as they threatened to return to militancy.
Those were protesting beneficiaries of the Feeral Government Amnesty Programme for repentant militants in the Niger Delta.
