Tension As Niger-Delta Avengers Ultimatum To Danjuma, Atiku, Others Expires Today
1 minute read
There is anxiety in the Niger Delta as the two-week ultimatum given
owners of oil blocs in the region by Niger Delta Avengers to evacuate
their staff and shut down operations ends today, while secret talks with
the militant group have run into a hitch.
The militant group in a statement by its spokesperson, Col Murdoch Agbinibo on May 12, gave the former Minister of Defence, General Theophilus Danjuma (retd), former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and other declared oil bloc owners two weeks to shut down operations or have themselves to blame.
Meanwhile, alleged talks between the Federal Government and an
intermediary of Niger Delta Avengers on how to end hostilities in the
region by the militant group have collapsed, while security agencies
have allegedly concluded plans to infiltrate the meeting of Ijaw youths
today in Warri to take a collective position on the Niger Delta
Avengers.
A security source told our reporter: “All security operatives in the country are currently on their toes following security reports that the Niger Delta Avengers has promised to resume hostilities after the expiration of its two-week ultimatum.”
