The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, has criticized the Nigerian Military over its recent raid on suspected militants’ base in Lagos and Ogun State respectively.
Recall that security forces in a combined operation had commenced attack on the hideout of suspected vandals and militants in some border towns of Lagos and Ogun State.
The Nigerian Air Force also conducted a five-day air raid with footage showing how missiles from its jets were release into the enclaves of suspected militants in Arepo area of Ogun state.
The operation was said to have led to the loss of over 100 militants while many others were arrested.
But the separatist group which has claimed responsibility for several attacks on pipeline installations across the Niger Delta region, challenged the Nigerian army to show footage of militants killed during its operation.
In a statement by its spokesman, self-styled Brig-Gen. Mudock Agbinbo, NDA warned that it cannot be intimidated by the military.
The statement reads, “The Nigeria military is playing some war game on some illegal bunkering camps and showing video of how they carry out the bombardment. That is so unprofessional don’t think they can intimidate the NDA with those scarp jet bombers. They can deploy fourth generation jet-bombers that will not stop us from fighting for our people.
“We challenge the military to share with the public the militants killed in the so-called air strike. We are very sure they won’t share the images of militants killed because none was killed except innocent women and children.
“What we are saying is the country should be restructured. The call for restructuring of Nigeria has gone beyond the NDA. The only group of persons against the restructuring is the Villa. The federal government should just listen to the voice of the citizens instead of playing the deaf ear game.”
