The Niger Delta Avengers has denied reports
that its representatives met with Ibe Kachikwu,
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum.
Kachikwu paid a visit to Delta state on
Thursday, June 16, where he was reported to
have met with the militants at the state
government house.
Kachikwu reportedly met with Niger Delta
Avengers in Delta state
A copy of the communique of the meeting
obtained by Sahara reports showed that the
meeting had in attendance Governor Patrick
Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state, an Itsekiri militant
leader, Ayirimi Emami, a representative of
Gbaramatu Kingdom, Michael Johny and two
persons representing the interest of the Niger
Delta Avengers: Gbeneka Godspwoer and Dan
Ekpebide.
In reaction, the Avengers took to its official
Twitter handle to say whoever met with
Kachikwu was not their representative.
Ita-Giwa gives conditions
“We want to say it’s a lie and anybody parading
themselves as Niger Delta Avengers
representatives are political jobbers ,” the group
said.
@SaharaReporters THEY ARE NOT OUR
REPRESENTATIVES....

Militants in the Niger Delta region especially the
Niger Delta Avengers have been blowing up oil
and gas installations in the region and they
have vowed to continue with the destruction
until zero oil is produced in the region.
Following the re-occurring oil pipeline
vandalism, Nigeria’s daily oil production has
reduced to 680,000 barrels per day.
Two weeks ago, the federal government said it
was ready to dialogue with the militants and set
up a committee to be coordinated by the office
of the National Security Adviser.
Days later, the Movement for the Emancipation
of the Niger Delta (MEND) announced the setup
of a team for the talks with federal government
over Niger Delta crisis.
However, Bibi Oduku, a former militant has
advised the federal government not to negotiate
with the Niger Delta Avengers and other
militants in the region. According to him,
engaging in dialogue with the militants will make
attacks on oil installations as well as other
forms of violence a vicious cycle in the area.
