A group under the aegis of Concerned Niger Delta Leaders, have joined other prominent leaders in the region to condemn the acts of the militants.

The group described the actions of the Niger Delta Avengers as criminal, adding that it is unacceptable.

The group’s spokesman, Chief Mike Loyibo also asked the military to go about their operation to fish out the suspected militants with caution.

Loyibo also said “We have for some time watched with utmost dismay the manner in which the Niger Delta Avengers, a group with an aimless agenda, has been destroying our common heritage and the economic mainstay of the country through the vandalisation of critical government infrastructure and oil installations.

“To us, the agenda of these people still remains unclear. At best, their actions are clear acts of sabotage and criminality, both against the state and humanity. It is also a direct threat to the collective existence of us all. The activities of the Niger Delta Avengers also threaten the un-negotiable unity of Nigeria to its very foundation, and this must be condemned by all well meaning stakeholders.”

The Bayelsa state government has also called on the militants to stop bombing crude oil facilities.
