Embattled former militant, Tompolo has revealed that two prominent Itsekiri and Ijaw activists, both stalwarts of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta state are probably behind the Niger Delta Avengers.
He further revealed that the activists “are only looking for attention from the government, so they use the happenings to seek relevance from the government, they may be behind these guys,” Vanguard reports.
Speaking through his Media Adviser and Consultant, Mr. Paul Bebenimibo, Tompolo also stated that he will not apologize to the Niger Delta Avengers.
“He (Tompolo) will not apologize to them (Niger Delta Avengers).
“If not for his present issues with the Federal Government, he (Tompolo) would have gone after them and exposed them because they seem to make things difficult for him, as the government is pointing fingers at him, but he cannot do anything in his present situation,” Bebenimibo said.
The Niger Delta Avengers had, in a statement by its spokesperson, Col. Mudoch Agbinibo, May 3, given Tompolo a 3-day ultimatum to apologize to him.
