DIMAPUR — In response to the statement of NSCN (IM) seeking an explanation pertaining to the ‘calling letter’ served to Aboh Wangsu, NSCN (Niki) has clarified that there was no ulterior motive rather than to solve the issues of financial misappropriation pending against him.
In a clarification, NSCN (Niki) stated that an individual by the name of Aboh Wangsu of Lamphong village in Longding district, voluntarily approached the organisation claiming to have enrolled in the NSCN (IM) government in 2006 and had served as tatar and applied himself to join them in the rank of tatar.
It stated that his application along with his details was received but was kept under observation until the time all formalities were completed. It, however, stated that even before his official appointment was made or declared, he started going around collecting money in the name of NSCN/GPRN for his personal benefit. It added that there was no accountability whatsoever from his end and his whereabouts became unknown.
“In the event of his disappearance and failure to report to concerned higher-ups, he was then served a calling letter from the concerned authority so that whatever cases or allegations which are pending against him could be sorted out,” read the statement issued by its MIP.
NSCN (Niki) stated that it had no knowledge if he was still a member of the NSCN (IM) or if he had already rejoined until the statement issued by the MIP, NSCN (IM) came to light.
It stated that the letter was served to him purely as a person who was probable to be appointed as tatar in the NSCN/GPRN and not as a functionary of the NSCN (IM) government. It added that there was no ulterior motive behind issuing a calling letter other than to solve the issues of financial misappropriation pending against him.
NSCN (Niki) has also ascertained that Aboh Wangsu and Abo Pungham is the same person and has also been using numerous other names for his convenience.
It further stated that dubious characters like Aboh Wangsu alias Abo Pungham alias Abo Bolam creating misunderstanding among Nagas should be summarily terminated from Naga national service irrespective of Naga political parties.
