The leading militant group operating in
the oil rich region of southern Nigeria, the Niger Delta Avengers, has
denounced a report that its members met with Nigeria’s youth minister,
Mr. Solomon Dalung in Delta State over the weekend.
In a statement issued on the Avengers’
website on Monday, July 18, 2016, the militants said that Mr. Solomon
Dalung is incompetent and claims that he met with members of the group
in Delta State are false.
The group’s spokesperson, Mudoch
Agbinibo said that the people who met with the youth and sports minister
claiming to be members of the Niger Delta Avengers are fraudsters
“The minister of youths and sports,
Solomon Dalung narrated how he met with some self-claimed Niger Delta
Avengers in Oporoza, Gbaramatu Kingdom,” Agbinibo said.
“We are here to let the general public
know that Niger Delta fraudsters has defrauded the minister. Niger Delta
Avengers can’t stoop so low as to send representatives to meet with a
common minister of youths that doesn’t know his work.
“Minister of youths and sports, Solomon
Dalung has been defrauded and played by Niger Delta Fraudsters he didn’t
had any meeting with us, Niger Delta Avengers.”
The militants reiterated that they will
not be part of any dialogue with the Nigerian government unless the
international community gets involved in the process.
“Let’s make this clear, any meeting with
Niger Delta Avengers that the International communities are not part to
witness, we, Niger Delta Avengers, will not be part of any such
dialogue as well,” the statement concluded.
