Nigeria’s Elderstatesman and leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Coastal states Stakeholders’ Consultative Forum, Chief Edwin Clark has slammed the Niger Delta Avengers for allegedly going against a ceasefire agreement and bombing the Bonny Export( 48) inch pipeline on Friday, September 24, 2016.

Clark, a former federal commissioner for Information, condemned the action of the agitators in a strongly worded statement, according to Vanguard.
The Niger Delta Avengers reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack on the pipeline in Bonny
In the statement, Clark reportedly said there was no justification for the renewed bombing, especially as the 60-day cessation of hostilities as articulated by Pan-Niger Delta Coastal States Stakeholders’ Consultative Forum had not elapsed.
“It has come to the attention of the Niger Delta royal fathers, elders and leaders of thought that the Niger Delta Avengers have claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Bonny Export( 48) inch pipeline on Friday, 23rd September, 2016.

“We condemn in totality this il- motivated and I’ll- advised rampaging in the bombing by the Niger Delta Avengers. Even though the federal government has not constituted its negotiating team as articulated by the Pan-Niger Delta Coastal States Stakeholders’ Consultative Forum, the 60-day cessation of hostilities has not elapsed.
“Therefore, there was no justification for further bombing, such as the one that took place last Friday.

“We repeat our appeal which was contained in our collective response to the summit on the Niger Delta convened by the office of the Vice President published at page 8 of leadership Newspaper of Saturday, September 24, 2016, and at page 9 of Saturday Vanguard of September 24, 2016 that ‘all the armed agitators to continue with the cessation of hostilities and remain calm and peaceful, even in the face of obvious provocation. We shall maintain this position’.”
