above, 90 per cent of oil blocs are allocated to individuals from northern
Nigeria and some confused elements from the region are calling the Niger Delta
Avengers names, some are calling us criminals.” “Our question to these groups
of individuals calling us names is: where were you when all these atrocities
were happening to the people of the Niger Delta? On the rumour that oil has
been discovered in the North East it, Niger Delta Avengers said: “How will you
feel if this found oil is been managed by Niger Deltans. We are very sure the
Niger Deltans will not even have two per cent oil bloc if oil is really found
in the Northeast. If you did not shut down, we will shut your stations
permanently for you.”
On the strikes of the group, which have devastated oil
and gas operations of major oil companies in the region and practically
crippled crude oil production, it said: “From the high command of the Niger
Delta Avengers, we congratulate all the strike teams of the Avengers. Without
taking any innocent life or that of the Nigeria military, we were able to shut
down 50 per cent of crude production.” “We have been seeing a lot on the media
about us. Some are asking, “Who are you avenging?” some calling us empty heads,
ex-agitators have been condemning us on daily basis. Our criticizer from other
part of the country, we do not have anything to tell you because you clearly do
not know how life is in the region.
“To our criticizers from the region, we
want you to know you are all cowards and afraid to stand for your people. “To
ex-agitators of the likes of Tompolo, We know why you people are after us. Our
agitation is more civilized than yours, the Niger Delta Avengers is more
concerned with people of Niger Delta unlike you (ex-agitations) that were into
kidnapping, killing of Nigeria soldiers, sea piracy, vessel and tanker
hijacking. However, we were able to carry out all our operations without
killing a fly. We have sophisticated arms far better than what you use to have
during your kidnapping days,” it asserted. 272 0 0
