We Have Videos, Pictorial Evidence and Records of Soldiers Who are Involved in Crude Oil Theft.--- Avengers Claims

Niger Delta Avengers

The Niger Delta Avengers group has accused Military officers sent to forestall law and order in the oil rich region of engaging in oil bunkering.

This is as the group alleged that they have video, pictorial evidence and records of soldiers’ involvement in crude oil theft.

Avengers in a statement release by its spokesman, Gen Mudoch Agbinibo yesterday, said it had records of what soldiers collect and make per day from illegal oil bunkering.

The group also dismissed reports linking its members to the killing of four soldiers in Nembe, Bayelsa State.

Wondering why the military always connect them to crimes, Avengers said, “It is a shame that Operations Delta Safe is still employing the old habit of deliberately dining and wining with fake intelligence from political thugs, political paymasters and enemies of the Niger Delta to perpetuate their continuous funding and relevance by leveraging on the hunger in the land.

“One question for the Commander of Operation Delta Safe, is, who are the people perpetuating the ongoing illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta at the moment? We have both video and still photographs of the serious involvement of your troops in the pervasive crude oil thefts. We have records of how much profit you collect and make per day from these atrocities in the Niger Delta.

“To set the records straight, we cannot come after your dane guns and ammunition. Since the start of ‘Operation Red Economy,’ our forces have not fired one shot until we have achieved this great success of crippling crude oil productions in the Niger Delta to about 800,000 barrels per day.

“Those gang members paraded as killers of troops of ODS are well known followers of Mr. Africa Ukparasai and Mr Timipre Silva, who were armed by the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the governorship election in Bayelsa State.

“If your forces and formations come under attack by notorious elements of your own political collaborators and calculations, you should accept it as a friendly fire (from your own dubious creations getting loosed and fighting back to protect their territories and bellies) and enjoy it while it last. Excuse the NDA from your “Pig and Mud squabbles.
