The Amnesty programme office has been bedevilled with a lot of controversies in recent times, which borders on corruption and financial mismanagement.

Prof. Dokubo, a former Director of Research and Studies at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, was appointed by President Buhari in March 2018, following the sack of the then coordinator of the programme, Brigadier General Paul Boroh, over allegations of financial mismanagement and other official misconducts under his leadership.

Professor Dokubo was suspended by the President in February 2020, on the recommendation of the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (rtd), over allegations and petitions about some activities in the programme.
