Niger Delta Avengers Threaten Governors

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a group of militants that have been responsible for attacks on oil and gas facilities in the oil-rich Niger Delta, have threatened to attack seven state governors’ convoys.

This was contained in a statement signed by the group’s spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo, where the militant group gave the governors 72 hours to free the Biafran agitators.

In what it termed ‘last warning’ to the governors in the South-South and South-East, the group demanded the release of pro- Biafra activists in the custody of police and military in their respective states.

The affected governors are Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Willie Obiano (Anambra), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta).


The NDA said: “We request the immediate release of all pro-Biafra activists held in your various Police/military custody. You are hereby given 72 hours to release them or risk your convoys, police stations, military bases and government offices being attacked.

“We are not negotiating with anybody and nobody is representing us. In 48 hours, we will release a video clip showing our arms and the targeted areas.

“All strike team already in position awaiting command,” the NDA said.
