The General Overseer of Victory Assembly
Ministry (VAM), Bishop Jonathan Eze has
cautioned Niger Delta militants to stop
blowing up oil pipelines or face the wrath
of God.
Eze gave the warning in an interview with
newsmen on Thursday in Owerri.
The Bishop was reacting to the incessant
attacks on oil pipelines by the new militant
group, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
According to the general overseer, who is also
a UN Peace Ambassador, the avengers are
incurring the wrath of God by their activities.
``The Avengers are not fighting a just cause
because their activities are affecting and
threatening the peace of the nation.
``Nigerian oil is a natural gift from God and
nobody has the right to destroy it,’’ he said.
Eze added that if the Avengers were
aggrieved over any issue, they should address
it in a civil manner rather than threaten the
country.
He said if the country must remain one, no
group should threaten the peaceful existence
of the nation in the name of militancy.
Eze also blamed Niger Delta leaders for
allowing the situation to ``get out of hand’’.
``The leaders in the Niger Delta region are to
be blamed because they are the people that
groomed the militants and they should call
them to order.
``How can there be governors, senators,
traditional rulers and other top government
officials from the region; and yet they cannot
caution their children from destroying
government assets,’’ he said.
According to him, spiritual leaders will no
longer seat back to watch militants destroy
the country.
``If the militants do not stop this madness,
we will fight them spiritually and subdue
them,” he said.
The clergyman, however, encouraged the
Federal Government to take a critical look
into the issue and handle it with diplomacy.
