The Niger Delta Avengers have claimed they are in possession of video and pictorial evidence of Nigerian Soilders’ involvement in crude oil theft.
The group also claimed to have records indicating how much the soilders collect and make per day from illegal oil bunkering.
Spokesperson of the militant group, Brig Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, said this in a statement.
The statement read: “One question for the Commander of Operation Delta Safe, is, who are the people perpetuating the ongoing illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta at the moment?
“We have both video and still photographs of the serious involvement of your troops in the pervasive crude oil thefts. We have records of how much profit you collect and make per day from these atrocities in the Niger Delta.
“To set the records straight, we cannot come after your dane guns and ammunition. Since the start of ‘Operation Red Economy,’ our forces have not fired one shot until we have achieved this great success of crippling crude oil productions in the Niger Delta to about 800,000 barrels per day.
“Those gang members paraded as killers of troops of ODS are well known followers of Mr. Africa Ukparasai and Mr Timipre Silva, who were armed by the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the governorship election in Bayelsa State.”
