Reformed Niger Delta Avengers,
RNDA, a coalition of nine militant groups, has announced temporary suspension
of attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta region.
Leader of RNDA, self-styled
“Major General” Johnmark Ezonbi, in a statement, said they have “temporarily
suspended the two weeks ultimatum given to the Federal Government to resume
fresh attacks on oil installations and facilities in the Niger Delta if they
continued to discuss with the disbanded Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF.”
He said, “This resolution to
withdraw our ultimatum followed the pleas from well-meaning Niger Deltans not
to resume fresh attacks on oil facilities because it will further put the
region in a bad spotlight.
“We also considered the verbal
release of N2 billion by the Federal Government as stated by the Vice
President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, in Akure for the take off of the Nigerian
Maritime University, Okerenkoko, which had been delayed for some political
reasons. “But if nothing tangible is done for the smooth take off of the
institution in October, then we will act appropriately.
“The pleas from the paramount
ruler of Seimbri Kingdom and former national chairman of TROMPCON, HM Pere
Charles Ayemi Botu; Ogulagha monarch, HM Joseph Timiyan; Coordinator of the Pan
Niger Delta People’s Congress PNDPC, High Chief Mike Loyibo; former Governor of
Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva; former Minister of Police Affairs, Alaowei
Bozimo; Secretary, PNDPC, Professor Benjamin Okaba, and National Chairman of
HOSTCOM, Dr Mike Emuh, among other notable Niger Deltans, cannot just be
neglected. Hence we decided to temporarily suspend the ultimatum.”
