The statement reads:

“Niger Delta Avengers can’t stoop so low to send representatives to meet with a common Minister of youths that doesn’t know his work. Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung has been defrauded and played by Niger Delta Fraudsters.”

“He didn’t have any meeting with us (Niger Delta Avengers). Let’s make this clear, any meeting with Niger Delta Avengers that the International communities are not part to witness, we (Niger Delta Avengers) will not be part of any such dialogue as well.”

Dalung had said that he met with the avengers and collected a letter from them to present to President Muhammadu Buhari.

He also described the militants as youths with the potential to be great citizens of Nigeria.
