A crack has appeared within the ranks of the militant
group, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), with the breakaway group
announcing itself as the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA). The split
was announced in a statement signed by one Cynthia White.
According to the statement, the RNDA decided to split from the Niger
Delta Avengers after appeal by former President Goodluck Jonathan and
its conviction that the peace initiative of the Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) is genuine. The RNDA added that
it also experienced a feeling of guilt over the damage being some to the
Niger Delta on our environment at a time the government of President
Muhammadu Buhari has shown commitment to the cleanup of the Niger Delta
environment. The new group promised to reveal the identities of those
behind the resurgence of violence in the oil-producing region.
"We have decided to join the MEND Aaron Team 2 peace initiative
through the clearing house of Niger Delta Dialogue and Contact Group
(NDDCG) headed by HRH King Alfred Diette-Spiff.
"We will also cooperate with the government by exposing the
identities of our comrades who remain stubborn in their insistence to
continue attacks.
"For example, it will shock the nation to know the Jekyll and Hyde
personality behind the pseudonym 'Brigadier General Murdoch Aginibo' and
our sponsors," the group threatened.
It also called on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
to take advantage of the olive branch concession secured by MEND to the
agitation for a Biafra Republic, which it branded an anachronism.
"Those advising Mr. Kanu (Nnamdi) to do otherwise do not love him nor
appreciate the level of treason this simple act of common sense and
humility can extricate him from.
"The Niger Delta will no longer be your proxy in a war to achieve your ambition.
"To our comrades in the NDA, we urge you to stop being defiant and
embrace peace and the wise counsel we all received from former President
Jonathan," counseled the RNDA.
