Avengers Blasts Navy, Warns NUPENG, PENGASSAN, Foreigners To Quit N’Delta

Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) on Thursday described as the biggest joke of the 21 Century the claim by the Nigerian Navy that it arrested the group’s logistics supplier. The militant group stated this in a statement, adding that by calling any suspect it has arrested a member of the militant group, the Navy has lost their sense of professionalism. Spokesperson of NDA, Brig. Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, who issued the statement on Thursday, recalled that the Nigerian Military arrested students in Oporoza and called them the Niger Delta Avengers, stressing that, “any criminal caught is NDA, even their business partners (Illegal Oil bunkers) with which things went sour are NDA, Sea pirates are now NDA”. He said: “When Niger Delta Avengers carry out any major attack, they (Nigerian Military) will deny it. First was the NNPC pipeline that was blown; second the 48-inches Exxonmobil pipeline that was blown by NDA.  Mobil and the Government denied it, only for Exxonmobil to declare force majeure few days after the attack. We want the general public to know that the Qua Iboe export pipeline is down right now. “Let me give a little brief about the Qua Iboe Export terminal because this is a subsidiary of Mobil and it is the biggest export stream in Nigeria. They export one million barrels every two days. I Brig. Gen Agbinibo personally led this operation unlike the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas that sits in the comfort of his office to pass orders”. He warned the Nigerian Military should stop deceiving the general public and their Commander-in-Chief, adding: “They should come out with the truth in Akwa Ibom issue instead of saying that the Niger Delta Avengers did not blow up the line but system anomaly. Shame on the Nigeria Military. “From reports of our intelligent agents, the only way funds can be allocated to various departments of the Military is only when they (Nigeria Military) arrest the Niger Delta Avengers operatives. But soonest the Nigerian public and their Commander-in-Chief will know that the Military is not capable to handle the Niger Delta Avengers. “How do you explain a military officer having a house in choice areas in Nigeria and outside the country? Nigerian serving and retired top officers are the richest people in Nigeria. How do they get such wealth? Right now, they are using Niger Delta Avengers to defraud the Nigerian government and tax payers of their money. “We want to make this clear that Niger Delta Avengers operatives are intact, our intelligence agencies are all intact and our team are in high spirit because we are winning the war. Nigerian Navy can’t arrest any of our members until we bring down the economy of this country”, the statement further added. The militant group therefore warned National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) to leave all oil fields and terminals in the Niger Delta because it is going to be dirty very soon. “Foreigners are to leave too”, added the statement.
