We Are Not Threatening Lives Of Nigerians – New Niger Delta Militants

AvengersThe new Niger Delta, the Avengers have made it clear that they are not out to threaten the lives of Nigerians but to demand for the liberation of the region from the main stream Nigeria.

They therefore denied ever threatening the minister of state for petroleum resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, saying that no member of the group or its agent called nor threatened the life of the minister.

In a statement by the spokesman of the Niger Delta Avengers, Colonel Mudoch Agbinibo, called on all international oil companies, indigenous oil firms and contractors to shun anyone who would call for any reason to say that he is a member of the group and making demands that are not in tune with the objective of the avengers.

He said that the aim of the group is far beyond threatening lives of Nigerians but that it is agitating for the total freedom and liberation of the Niger Delta people and making them have control over their resources.

“No agent or representative of the Avenger has called the minister of state for petroleum resources and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, group managing director, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu to threaten his life.

“To all international oil companies, indigenous oil companies and all contractors, if anyone called saying they are members of Avenger, please do not listen or take them serious because our ideology and belief is far from that,”

The statement further warned that should the federal government fail to meet their demands the avengers will continue to blow up the pipelines until the Nigerian economy is brought to level zero, saying as at present, it has recorded 50 percent success, but praying that in no distant time, it will record 100 percent, thereby crippling the economic base of Nigeria.
