Delta Militants Repent From Bombing Nigeria's Oil Facilities
-
The New Delta Avengers has reneged on it’s decision to launch attacks on oil facilities in Delta State from the midnight of June 30, 2017.
The planned attack was to draw the attention of the Federal Government to the alleged starving of oil communities of funds by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
In a letter signed by the Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Isoko and Ndokwa “high commanders” of the group, the militants said they were shelving the planned attack due to appeals by Edwin Kiagbodo Clark and his determination to end the impoverishment of oil communities.
They however said they will not demobilize their armaments, hardware and men from locations where they have been camping since they were dispatched three weeks ago until they were sure of positive result from Clark’s intervention.
