Niger Delta Avengers to Resume Attacks on Oil Installations

Pat Morgan/

Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers today said it would resume attacks on oil installations in the region.

The group announced a ceasefire last year, following which it halted attacks on oil facilities to enable the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) dialogue with the government.

The group, in a statement, denounced PANDEF and its leaders including elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) and the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA).

The statement issued by the group’s spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, reads: “The Niger Delta Avengers are back and will not spare anything or anyone on our path to actualize a united and free Niger Delta. Our next line of operation will not be like the 2016 campaign, which we operated successfully without any casualties.

“This outing will be brutish, brutal and bloody, as we are shall crush everything we meet on our path to completely put off the fires that burn to flare gas in our communities and cut every pipe that moves crude away from our region.

“We can assure you that every oil installation in our region will feel the warmth of the wrath of the Niger Delta Avengers.”
