The Eleme Youth Council (EYC) has come out to debunk claims made by the Niger Delta Avengers that they bombed a pipeline belonging to NNPC in Eleme local government.
The leadership reports that Prince Brian Emere Gokpa, the president of EYC has said there’s no truth in the claim by the Avengers.
“The attention of Eleme Youth Council World-wide has been drawn to an online publication that the Niger Delta Avengers blew up pipelines in Eleme local government area. This information is not true; it is unfounded and baseless. It is the imagination of mischief makers whose aim is to project Eleme as a terrible local government area.
“Eleme local government area is relatively peaceful and no person or group of persons should give false alarm about security situation in the area,” he said.
He also said that the age in which miscreants could just do as they pleased in the area was long gone and that the Eleme youths will no longer fold their arms.
