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.
