The Niger Delta
Avengers on Sunday told the leaders of the Niger Delta region under the Chief
Edwin Clark-led Pan Niger Delta Forum not to blame the group for renewed
attacks on oil facilities in the region despite ongoing peace parley with the
Federal Government.
The militant group said they could not
help but bring down some oil facilities in the region because the Federal
Government had allegedly refused to honour the ceasefire terms they both
entered before they heeded the calls of the region’s leaders and traditional
rulers to use dialogue as a means to ending the crisis in the region.
A statement issued by the group’s
spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, told Clark and other leaders to blame both the
Federal Government and the Nigerian military for the fresh attacks.
They added that the government was using military force to
undermine the peace process by ‘unnecessarily’ harassing communities and
arresting innocent people in the region.
