SOILDER'S ARE ENGAGE IN OIL BUNKERING- AVENGERS

Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, yesterday, alleged that
soldiers were the merchants of oil bunkering in the Niger
Delta and that they have video and pictorial evidence of their
involvement in crude oil theft and records, including how
much they collect and make per day from illegal oil
bunkering.

The group, in a statement denying security reports linking

its forces to the killing of troops in Nembe, Bayelsa State,

said it was surprised at the desperation of the military to

always connect NDA to crimes in  Southern Nigeria.

“It is a shame that Operations Delta Safe is still employing

the old habit of deliberately dining and wining with fake

intelligence from political thugs, political paymasters and

enemies of the Niger Delta to perpetuate  their continuous

funding and relevance by leveraging on the hunger in the

land,” spokesperson of the militant group, self-styled Brig

Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, said.

The NDA had ceased hostilities, though unannounced,

weekend, in deference to the plea by Niger Delta

monarchs, leaders and stakeholders to all militant groups

in the region to sheathe their swords.

It said, “One question for the Commander of Operation Delta

Safe , is, who are the people perpetuating the ongoing

illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta at the moment? We

have both video and still photographs of the serious

involvement of your troops in the pervasive crude oil

thefts. We have records of how much profit you collect and

make per day from these atrocities in the Niger Delta.

“To set the records straight, we cannot come after your

dane guns and ammunition. Since the start of  ‘Operation

Red Economy,’ our forces have not  fired one shot until we

have achieved this great success of crippling crude oil

productions in the Niger Delta to about 800,000 barrels per

day.

“Those gang members paraded as killers of troops of

ODS are well known followers of Mr. Africa Ukparasai and

Mr Timipre Silva, who were armed by the All Progressives

Congress, APC, during the governorship election  in

Bayelsa State.

“If your forces and formations come under attack by

notorious elements of your own political collaborators and

calculations, you should accept it as a friendly fire (from

your own dubious creations getting loosed and fighting

back to protect their territories and bellies)  and enjoy it

while it last. Excuse the NDA from your “Pig and Mud

squabbles.

“Yesterday was Arepo in Ogun State, today is Nembe in

Bayelsa State, which is the next state you want to involve

the NDA in this your bread and butter security conspiracies

and collaborations ?"
