Former
Niger Delta warlord, Victor-Ben Ebikamobowei, also known as Boyloaf,
has condemned the actions of the Niger Delta Avengers and renamed the
group, Niger Delta NIMASA after what, he says, are the sponsors of the
new militant group.
Boyloaf, also commonly called
Victor-Ben, a commander of the defunct for the Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND) has accused “persons trying to avoid prosecution for their
alleged crimes under the administration of former President Goodluck
Jonathan” of sponsoring the new age militant group who have sworn to end
oil production in Nigeria.
Boyloaf spoke with Naij.com and said, “There is nothing like Niger Delta avengers, we know NIMASA avengers there is nothing like the Niger Delta avengers.”
“They are just a few group of people
that are supposed to face what they did and they decided to convert it
to struggle,” Boyloaf maintained.
Boyloaf accused the sponsors of plans to distract the government from getting prosecuted for their crimes.
“There is nothing like the Niger Delta
avengers, it is NIMASA, they want to distract government from the things
they have done, do not pay any attention to them.
“Everybody that committed should face
his sin and should not convert it to struggle. However, Boyloaf fingered
Government Ekpemupolo also known as Tompolo as the leader of the
ongoing crisis in the Niger-Delta.
“Tompolo is in the bush, he is no more
on the street so he should remain there. Somebody cannot commit sin and
hide, he should face the sin and not convert it to avenger.
“Is it not business everyone did with
him? So they handled The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety
Agency (NIMASA) themselves as their own personal company, they should go
and give account for what they did. Is he bigger than Nigeria?
“Afterall they called many people and
they gave account, so he should go. Why is his own so different?
Whenever government attack, they will convert it to [a] struggle.”
Former Niger Delta warlord, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo has denied any involvement in the Niger Delta Avengers and called on the group to cease hostilities against the Nigerian state and embrace dialogue.
The Niger Delta Avengers say it is waging a war for a free Niger Delta Republic in what it tags, Operation Red Economy,
with a view of halting crude oil production in Nigeria to force the
government to grant the group’s demands. The group has presented an
11-point demand to President Muhammadu Buhari and the first is the
implementation of the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference. [Download Conference report HERE.]
By the way, President Muhammadu Buhari has not read the report and believes it should remain in “the archives”, archives is a code word for dustbin.
