Tension As Bakassi Goes Against Niger Delta Avengers Activities

A group of militants in Akwa-Cross region under the aegis of Bakassi Strike Force has called on the federal government to listen to the agitations of the Niger Delta Avengers.

The Bakassi militant group condemned the incessant bombings of oil pipelines in the oil rich Niger Delta region by the Avengers, Channels TV reports.


Speaking at Esuk Mba, in Akpabuyo local government area of Cross River state, Simple Benjamin, the leader of the group, advised the government to adopt the approach of the American Ambassador to Nigeria who is an advocate for dialogue as war alone cannot solve their problems in tackling the issue.

He explained that there was no struggle without a reason, and the Avengers had their reasons for attacking oil facilities in the region.

Mba however, said they were not in support of the militants activities, asking them to stop the attacks as it was no the solution to their grievances.
