A Niger Delta militant group,
Adaka Boro Avengers, ABA, has maintained that its earlier threat to declare
Republic of Niger Delta on October 1 remains sacrosanct.
In a statement issued yesterday,
spokesperson of the group, Edmos Ayayeibo, said there was no going back because
the Nigerian state has “lost its unity.”
The group said, “The October 1
declaration of a republic in the Niger Delta is sacrosanct because Nigeria has
lost its unity. To save lives on both sides, the Nigerian government should
maintain peace, compose themselves or face total war.
“We the Avengers have always
carried out our words. When we said we would crumble the economy, we did it.
And now we are asking all northerners and westerners to leave the Niger Delta
region for their own good. This is not 2016 and now we have more arsenals, more
powerful than the Nigerian government.”
Adaka Boro’s warned oil companies
operating in the Niger Delta to vacate the region in their interest.
“We are also using this medium to
call on all the multinational corporations to leave the region in their own
interests and peace; because their continued stay in the region has not done
any good to the people of the Niger Delta.
“Also to the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), kindly withdraw your oil survey teams and your
technical workers from our communities, while the tension in the region is
boiling up.
“Failure to adhere to these
warnings, we shall leave no stone unturned. Because all Avengers groups in the
region are united now and our new focus is on any multinational corporations
and any NNPC infrastructures, especially the pipelines and NNPC filling
stations across the country,” ABA said.
