Buhari alone is against Nigeria restructuring

The Niger Delta Avengers on Thursday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of being the only Nigerian against calls for the nation’s restructuring.

The group also said the recent bombardments of some of its members in Arepo community of Lagos/Ogun communities was unprofessional.

In a statement issued by the spokesman for the group, Mudoch Agbinibo, the Avengers vowed that the recent bombardments would not stop them from fighting for their people, challenging the Nigerian military to display to the public its members that were killed in the air strikes since it begun.

It accused the military of killing innocent women and children during their air bombardment exercise.

The militant group while announcing a new Twitter account, took a swipe at the online social network service provider for suspending it former account, saying such would not stop the group’s struggle.

The Air Force and other security agencies had started aerial bombardments of “criminal hideouts and camps harbouring pipelines vandals” at Arepo and its environs on July 28.

But the Avengers, while claiming responsibility for militants’ activities in Arepo communities, said, “The Nigeria military is playing some war game on some illegal bunkering camps and showing video of how they carry out the bombardments.

“That is so unprofessional; I don’t think they can intimidate the NDA with those scrap jet bombers.”
