declared an end to its ceasefire with
the Federal Government, thus
threatening to resume fresh attacks
on oil facilities in Nigeria, in a move
that would certainly have a grave
impact on the nation’s economy
and its people
The militant group, which shut down oil
production for much of 2016, made this
known on Friday, in a statement signed
by the group’s spokesman, Murdoch
Agbinibo.
According to him, Operation Red
Economy, which it had declared following
the intervention of the Chief Edwin Clark-
led Pan Niger Delta Forum, was officially
over.
In the statement, the group said it will
restart hostilities, with attacks on oil
installations because of the perceived
insincerity on the part of the
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Read full statement below:
The High Command of the Niger
Delta Avengers wishes to bring
to the notice of the International
Community and the general
public that there is no such
militant group with the
nomenclature, “Reformed Niger
Delta Avengers”; it is not
operated by any of our operatives
but a money making tool in the
hands of certain disgruntled
Niger Deltan political jobbers in
connivance with top government
functionaries of the Buhari led
Nigerian Government.
The Intelligence Unit of the NDA
has gathered from our sources in
the Nigerian Government that the
operatives of the said Reformed
Niger Delta Avengers are some
fraudsters from the Niger Delta
region working with government
functionaries like the office of
the Director General of DSS,
office of National Security
Adviser and office of the Minister
of Transport. The chain of Niger
Delta fraudsters is which been
led by one Richard Akinaka, Myke
Loyibo and Famous Daunumugha
and a host of others; has vowed
to stop at nothing until they help
the Nigerian Government to
jeopardize the sincere efforts of
the Niger Delta People at
Economic, Social and Political
freedom.
To the elders of the Niger Delta,
PANDEF, we warned you against
the antics of the Nigerian
Government yet you requested a
chance to broker a new vision for
our people; we told you and the
rest of the world that the
Nigerian Government is only
interested in our oil wells and not
our well being yet you told us the
signs are different this time
around.
Instead of allowing us to
continue our quest to bring the
Nigerian economy to our targeted
zero daily production, which
recorded huge success; you
threatened us with Tompolo to
stop the struggle; out of respect
for elders and not to the threat
of Tompolo we adhered the call
and halted our strike actions
hoping you (PANDEF) would keep
your own side of the bargain.
The question to Tompolo and the
PANDEF is to tell us what
progress they achieved since we
heeded your retrogressive call,
to whose benefit is the move by
Tompolo and the Niger Delta
elders to impede a mission
sanctioned by our ancestors and
the Almighty?
Tompolo, we want you to know
that we never started this
struggled with the intent of living
forever but with our lives already
offered for a sacrifice for a better
Niger Delta. We invite you to
come after us with your total
force as we are no longer ready
to heed uninspiring advise from
you or anyone else in the Niger
Delta Region.
We have since lost faith in you
(Tompolo) and PANDEF and have
vowed never to heed any such
retrogressive call or advise from
you in the future; the recent
disruption of the PANDEF 4th
National Assembly by the
Nigerian Government is the final
evidence we needed to conclude
that the Federal Government of
Nigeria reserves not even a iota
of respect for you (Tompolo) and
the Niger Delta Elders as the
position of the Nigerian
Government is made
emphatically known to the Niger
Delta People that it’s ONLY
interest remains the flow of oil
from our region to the Central
Bank of Nigeria. We want to
make it known to the PANDEF
and the Nigeria government that
our call for halt on “Operation
Red Economy” is officially over.
Some of us can still remember
those good old days in camp 5
when you (Tompolo) were the
general of Generals, you told us
(the young combatants) then,
that “we are the future of the
total emancipation of the Niger
Delta, that we should also know
we are not fighting for ourselves
rather we are fighting for the
next generation”. Sometimes we
wonder where that charismatic
General of Generals, has gone to.
We bet, only you can answer dat
question. We still believe in you
but we are sorry, like you said
10yrs ago “we are the future of
the total emancipation of our
people”; and we have since
chosen this path and never back
out until the total emancipation
of our people is achieved.
We have just concluded head
count of our operatives across
the Country; we are pleased to
announce that all our operatives
are intact and focused; ready to
implement instructions from the
High Command of the NDA in the
going few days.
To the Nigerian Government, we
are aware of Egina FPSO built in
South Korea by Samsung to be
operated by Total Nigeria is one
of the biggest FPSO built in
South Korea has started it’s
voyage to the oil fields of the
Niger Delta to further exploit us
while our concerns are left
unattended. We are presently
tracking and monitoring it’s
movement; and God willing it
shall not operate successfully in
amidst the return of the fury of
the Niger Delta Avengers.
Message to the Oil Companies;
Our next line of operation will not
be like the 2016 campaign which
we operated successfully without
any casualties; this outing will be
brutish, brutal and bloody, as we
are shall crush everything we
meet on our path to completely
put off the fires that burn to flair
gas in our communities and cut
every pipe that moves crude
away from our region. We can
assure you that every oil
installation in our region will feel
warmth of the wrath of the Niger
Delta Avengers.
To you the operators of the
social media Avengers (RNDA),
be reminded that the Niger Delta
Avengers are not the same as
the toothless and cowardly
MEND; we are men of our words
and may it resonance in thy ears
and deep down your bowels and
that of your partner’s in
government whose interest is the
suffering of the people of the
Niger Delta that we (The Niger
Delta Avengers) are back and will
not spare anything or anyone on
our path to actualize a united
and free Niger Delta.
According to John F Kennedy;
Those who make peaceful
revolution impossible will make
violent revolution inevitable.
