"Former President GEJ Behind Niger Delta Avengers" - Ex Militant

President of National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators (NCNDE-A), Israel Akpodoro, has claimed that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan is behind Niger Delta Avengers, a militant group responsible for bombing and shutting down of oil facilities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria over the past few weeks.

Israel Akpodoro said on Friday:

“The NDA is a creation of GEJ aimed at thwarting any efforts made by successive administration especially that of the Pres. Buhari-led APC administration. GEJ created the monster NDA, and he alone can call them to order and that is what my group is asking him to do.

"Nigerians should hold GEJ responsible for any possible collateral damage that may be incurred in the process of exterminating that destructive rag tag group with all its sympathisers in the region.

"Our common enemies in the Niger Delta region are those governors, ministers, Special Advisers, Director Generals, Senators and other representatives who participated in government and use their offices to enrich themselves at the detriment of general good."
