The
Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, today, November 15, 2016, claims its ‘’Elite Strike Team 03’ bombed crude oil export trunk
lines operated by oil majors Shell, Agip and Oando with a supply capacity of
300,000 barrels per day. This was made known in a press release by self-styled Brig. General Murdoch Agbinibo, the Spokesman of the
militant group. Full text of the press release reads:
‘At about 11.45pm November 15, 2016, our Elite Strike Team 03
struck Nembe 1, 2 and 3 truck (sic) line operated by Agip, Oando and Shell with
supply capacity of 300,000 barrel per day to Bonny export terminal in Bayelsa
State. This is in response to the so-called " Operations Sharkbite"
an art of terrorism commissioned by the tyranny of the Nigerian Navy
establishment and orchestrated by some elements of the ruling political class
to continuously undermine any effort by the Nigerian state to addressing the
legitimate demands of the people of the Niger Delta and as well a conspiracy to
bloat the accounts of some security contractors and conflict merchants within
the party structure of the APC.
We are only reiterating our strong resolve that, time is running
against the Nigerian government, that there is doom ahead. The Nigerian
government need our cooperation more than we need the government as it concerns
the extraction of the crude oil and hydrocarbon resources in our God-given
land. We are determined to continue this war by all means necessary, until that
environment prevails for a genuine dialogue and negotiations within the
framework of the sixteen point key demands presented to President Muhammadu Buhari
by PANDEF on the 1st of November 2016.
We want the peace with honour, we don't want the Peace of Our
Time. Since that moment military was drafted into the Niger Delta as an
instrument of suppression to our fatherland against all peaceful protest and
legitimate demands the fear had gone. The message is getting stronger with more
messengers.
Signed:
Brig. Gen Murdoch Agbinibo
Spokesperson.
