Children of Delta state have in an emotional message begged members of the Niger Delta Avengers to stop their attacks on oil installations in Nigeria.
The children did this through at a forum in Asaba organised to mark this year’s Day of African Child with the theme ‘Conflict and Crisis in Africa: Protecting All Children’s Right’.
They said that they fear that the attacks by the NDA could lead to a full scale in which many lives would be lost.
“We beg the Niger Delta Avengers to think about the plight of children in conflict situations. We need to see laughter of children but how can be a reality when they are forced to live in refugee camps. We need government to our rights and guarantee our welfare,” they stated
The Children appealed to the Governor of Delta state Ifeanyi Okowa to meet with President Buhari to find a lasting solution to the problem.
