The new militant group in the Niger Delta, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), has stated that its ultimate goal is to secure a Sovereign State of Niger Delta for its people.
The group vowed to hoist its flag, display its currency and passport, ruling council and territory to the world come October 2016.
Spokesperson for the group, which had repeatedly claimed responsibility of the recent renewed pipeline bombings in the region, Colonel Mudoch Agbinibo, stated this in a press release made available to Nigerian Tribune on Thursday, in Warri, Delta State.
Also, NDA described President Muhammadu Buhari and some of his cabinet members as practically ignorant of the actual situation and plight of the Niger Delta region, hence, their uninformed utterances on happenings in the area.
“To the president, Buhari, we are sure you have not been to the creeks of the Niger Delta before and 90 per cent of your cabinet members do not know how the region looks like.
“You think the Niger Delta region is full of animals, who are going to frustrate your government,” the group noted.
They accused Buhari of jettisoning the rule of law in his anti-corruption campaign, citing the detention of Nnamdi Kanu as uncivilised.
“Your government that is not following rule of law, unlawful detention of innocent people like Nnamdi Kanu.
