*Niger Delta Suicides threatens more havoc

WARRI—SUSPECTED militants in a twin
attack, yesterday, bombed two oil
installations belonging to an oil exploration
company, near Batan community in Delta
State.
Details of the attack were sketchy at press
time, but locals said the explosions occurred
at 12.05 a.m., yesterday.
The double strikes came as Niger Delta
Avengers, NDA, denied claim by the Minister
of Youths and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalung,
that he met with the militant group at
Oporoza, saying he was apparently
defrauded by some fraudsters.
Meanwhile, the Niger Delta Suicides, NDS,
another militant group in the region, has
warned that it would devastate the economy
in different forms if the Federal Government
refused to create a genuine platform for
talks with militants.
Chairman of Batan community, Dickson
Ogugu, who confirmed the attack, said: “We
heard a double explosion at 12:05a.m.,
between Camp 3 and Kokologbene
communities.”
A security officer attached to 3 Battalion,
Effurun, near Warri, who also spoke to
Vanguard, said a team of military personnel
had been drafted in company of a
surveillance team to ascertain the extent of
damage to the facilities.
Dalung scammed
Spokesman of Avengers, self-styled Brig Gen
Mudoch Agbinibo, while reacting to the
alleged visit of Dalung to Oporoza,
yesterday, said: “The Minister of Youth and
Sports, Dalung, narrated how he met some
self-acclaimed Niger Delta Avengers in
Oporoza, Gbaramatu Kingdom. We are here
to let the public know that some fraudsters
have defrauded the Minister.
“Avengers couldn't have sent
representatives to meet a common minister.
Dalung has been defrauded by fraudsters, he
did not hold any meeting with us. Let me
make it clear that any meeting with the
Avengers that the international community
is not a part of, we will not be part of such
dialogue as well,” Agbinibo added.
Also, NDS, in a statement by its
spokesperson, Amakiri, said: "We wish to
warn the present government and those
clamouring to frustrate the efforts of Niger
Delta Avengers to have a rethink and create
a genuine platform for dialogue, otherwise,
we will use our oil to survive and they will
eat their yam.
“This fight is a fight by everyone, including
children yet unborn. Thank God, we have
successfully planted Adaka Borohs and
Tompolos everywhere. So, we are waiting,”
he said.
