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. [V]
