In the current threat by the group, signed by one
General Don Wannie, the militants threatened to
attack some government and oil facilities in Imo
state.
According to Vanguard, the group fumed that oil
producing communities have nothing to show for
the many years of oil exploration and
exploitation.
“Oil companies started operation in our community
since 1957, but up till date, we have nothing to
show as benefit. For Imo State government, we
will make sure you make no further gains from
Ohaji/Egbema.
“Since God’s creation, neither Imo State
government nor oil companies have remembered
us. We have been neglected and abandoned. No
electricity. No tarred roads. No drinking water. No
hospital. No youth employment or empowerment.
We shall destroy everything in Imo State that was
built with our oil money,” NDRS stated .
The group which claimed responsibility for an
attack on a facility operated by Shell Petroleum
Development Company in Awarra, Ohaji/Egbema
local council area of the state promised to inflict
maximum damage to oil facilities, if Ohaji/
Egbema communities are not given due benefits
from their oil resource.

The militants equally promised an imminent
attack on the facilities of Waltersmith Petroleum
Oil Limited.
NDRS said: “We will let them know that the
security which they claim to have is insufficient.
So, they should go and hire more because we are
coming to attack them any moment from now.”
Meanwhile, the Members of the Delta
Waterways Security Committee (DWSC) have
warned the Niger Delta Avengers to stop
bombing of pipelines or risk confrontation with
Itsekiri people.
Vanguard reports that Comrade Omolubi
Newuwum who is an ex-Itsekiri warlord said the
bombing of pipelines in the region by the
Avengers was provoking the Itsekiri people.
He said the reason why the people are not
taking up arms against the government was
because they were peaceful. |
