Tompolo Begs Niger Delta Avengers To Stop Attacks

Former militant leader, Government
Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has called on
the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) to halt the
ongoing bombing of oil and gas
installations in the Niger Delta region.
“I wish to once again write the members of
the Niger Delta Avengers to embrace the
Federal Government dialogue option as a
way out of the brewing crisis in the Niger
Delta region. As I have said before now, I
do not know you and how to reach you
except through the mass media, therefore it
is high time you stopped the bombing and
destruction of crude oil facilities in the
Niger Delta region,” Tompolo said in a
statement.
“One thing you guys may not be aware of
is that you have not only succeeded in
militarizing the Niger Delta region now,
but also succeeded in given birth to so
many negotiators and political jobbers
within the government circle, who are very
serious rumour peddlers in the country
now.”
“Presently all communities in Gbaramatu
kingdom have been deserted by residents
for fear of a repeat of the 2009 military
invasion, which still leave the communities
in shambles. Even until now, the military
has not returned the symbol of authority
they took away from the Egbesu Shrine
and other valuables in Oporoza community
during the May 28, 2016 invasion.”
“It is pertinent to state that I have not
heard and seen in any part of Nigeria,
even the most volatile North Eastern part
of Nigeria,where Boko Haram has been
killing innocent people, the way and
manner the Military desecrated the
traditional worship centres in Gbaramatu
Kingdom. This is a clear oppression and
intimidation of the peace loving people of
Gbaramatu Kingdom.
“Another dangerous dimension my
traducers have introduced into this issue is
the allegation that some of my closest men
are coordinators of the Niger Delta
Avengers. In addition, this is currently
trending in the social media, specifically in
the niaja.com platform, that Benji
Ekeremor, Super and Owomor aka VIP are
the coordinators of the Avengers,” he said.
“The truth of the matter is that I can no
longer endure these blackmails from my
traducers, as I have seen that they are not
resting in their oars, as they have vowed to
implicate me by all means necessary. God
forbid!”
“To set the records straight, these are
responsible men who had had skilled
training under the Presidential Amnesty
programme that are currently using their
acquired skills to eke out a living.
Therefore, the allegation that they are the
coordinators of various axes of the
Avengers is a malicious and mischievous
one,” he said.
“On a final note, I wish to reiterate that
you guys must stop the bombing and
destruction of oil facilities in the Niger
Delta region now and embrace the
dialogue option from the Federal
Government as it is (dialogue) the only
pragmatic means in resolving a crisis no
matter huge and complicated such crisis is.
In addition, I believe fervently that the
Government is serious and willing to end
this re-occurring crisis in the Niger Delta
region. Enough is enough,” he added.
