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.
