Niger Delta Avengers Weapon Supplier Arrested By The Nigerian Army
July 20, 2016 – Niger Delta Avengers Weapon Supplier Arrested By The Nigerian Navy
The Nigerian Navy said it had arrested a suspected member of the Niger Delta Avengers.
This is contained in a statement signed by its Director of Information, Commodore Christian Ezekobe, and made available to newsmen in Abuja.
According to Ezekobe, the suspect who was picked up on July 11 at about 11 a.m., is believed to be a major logistics supplier to the group which had claimed responsibility for attacks on NNPC and Chevron pipelines in the region.
“The arrest was made following a confessional statement obtained from an earlier arrested suspect who gave details of the involvement of other collaborators in the attacks.
“Preliminary investigations also revealed that the suspect recently supplied 10 batteries, five large coils of wire and other materials purportedly used for the attacks,” the director said.
The Navy said it would continue to partner with sister security agencies and members of the public to eliminate all forms of economic sabotage such as vandalisation of pipelines and piracy.

Wetin is pain to me for Nigeria is say we are no be one but we are say we are one. But it have tey that I knows say Nigeria is can’t posibul in union. Yoruba is do tribality and Hausa is do killility. Tivi is do brabry and Ijaw is do coroption. Igbo is do wayolity and Edo is do Ashawolity. Niger Delta is do bombility. Fulani is also follows Hausa to do killility and president is not stop them. Every some body is get wetin they are do weyris badness and not goodness upon us. So Nigeria is can’t posibul to a unity.

ITS GOING TO GET DIRTY SOON AND DON’T CALL US CRIMINALs….Niger Delta Avengers. Contrary to local news that Nigeria Navy has arrested Niger Delta Avengers logistics supplier is the biggest joker of the 21st century. As it now any Tom, Dick and Harry is a suspect of Niger Delta avengers. Nigeria Navy has lost the sense of professionalism.
The Nigeria military arrested school students in Oporoza and called them the Niger Delta Avengers, any criminal caught is NDA, ever their Business partners (Illegal Oil bunkers) with which things went south are NDA, Sea pirates are now NDA.
When Niger Delta Avengers carries out any major attack they (Nigeria Military) will deny it. First was the NNPC pipeline that was blown, second the 48-inches Exxonmobil pipeline that was blown by NDA. Mobil and the Government denied it. Only for Exxonmobil to declare false majeure few days after the attack. We want the general public to know the Qua Iboe export pipeline is down right now.
Let me give a little brief about the Qua Iboe Export terminal. This is a subsidiary of Mobile and it the biggest export stream in Nigeria. They export ONE MILLION barrel every two days.
I Brig. Gen Agbinibo personally led this operation. Unlike the Nigeria Chief of Naval Staff that sit in the comfort of his office to pass orders.
The Nigeria Military should stop deceiving the general public and their commander in Chief. They should come out with the truth in Akwa Ibom instead of saying Niger Delta Avengers didn’t blow up thr line but system anomaly. Shame on the Nigeria Military.
Reports from our intelligent agent, the only way funds can be allocated to various department of the Military is only when they (Nigeria Military) arrest the Niger Delta Avengers operatives. But soonest the Nigeria public and their commander in Chief will now the Military is not capable to handle the Niger Delta Avengers.
How do you explain a military officer having a house in choice areas in Nigeria and outside the country? Nigeria serving and retired top officers are the richest people in Nigeria. How do they get such wealth? Right now, they are using Niger Delta Avengers to fraud the Nigeria government and tax payers of their money.
We want to make this clear, all Niger Delta Avengers operatives are intact, our intelligent agencies are all intact and our operative team are in high spirit because we are winning the war. Nigeria Navy can’t arrest any of our operative until we bring down the economy of this country.
We are warning Nupeng and Pengassan to leave all oil field and terminals in the Niger delta because it will be going to be dirty very soon. Foreigners are to leave too.

Federal government, Can arresting this guys solve the problem? Ok,how many are you going to arrest? I firmly believe avengers are not the only one blowing up pipelines. Many of this guys are scattered in several oil producing states. Arresting any individual is like catching a fish from the wide ocean. and by this are you encouraging them to drop their arms or you are all the more hardening there minds to evade arrest and fortified themselves with more advance weapons? Why not go to the root of this problem for Gods sake and stop living a double standard with this militant. You said to be engaging in dialogue at the same time arresting them. Can this pattern work? Go back to exactly what that noble minded and intelligent man yaradua did to them during his administration. He brought an unprecedented calm to that region and kick start our economy. So why not do the same?

Vandalisation and piracy are not just the only problems we have in this country.
Our problems are too numerous and so enormous. Everything is encapsulated in CORRUPTION!
This giant problem is found at all nooks and crannies of this Nation, EVERYWHERE!
Buhari and his APC Party are using the fake fight against corruption to decieve millions of guillible Nigerians.
There is no such things like fighting corruption as corruption is waxing stronger by the day. In all Ministries, Institutions, Govt parastatals, in the Judiciary, House of Assembly, the Senate, CBN, everywhere.
I take a stroll…

@Bench u make me laugh..
Nigerian, where are we heading to?? That I am not in d country doesn’t mean I shouldn’t wish and pray for a better Nigeria. Our economy has always been great and peace loving.. but little things always break us apart. We fail to realize that enemies are mocking and poking fun of us everywhere around the world… Enemies are happy!!!
Dear Mr. President, other than looking for a possible solution and restore peaceful settlement absence war, you kept probing and arresting while corrections kept waxing stronger… My question is, is this the best way to solve all this issues and make Nigeria great again?? Fighting this militants in there own destination won’t solve this issues, n won’t definitely weep them away. Create a peaceful settlement absence war, I believe they will listen and sort out everything amicably. U can’t be a lion to console a lion… when two lion roars, nothing ever changes cos both believe to be strong than the other and would do anything to proof such and see it so.
The country now lacks oil and electricity, absence job opportunities and cash always on d run… But Corruptions and discrimination has swept d country from nothing to infinity.. Corruption is waxing stronger and stronger everyday… When will all this stop?? Well Naija needs oil and electricity enough to run daily activities, abeg make una think am wella ooo.. This Naija militant Sef, una no dey hear words Haba. una too like fight jare.. Abeg make una small small settle this case peacefully without violence make person drink water n keep cup abeg… Nowadays married couples no fit make luv again say becos boko haram, fulani herdsmen, kidnappers, naija delta, ritualist, armed robbers, etc dey fr door dey wait.. Nawa ooo.
God will surely make Naija great again.

From all d story I read nobody’s name is mentioned, does d person not av a name. If the story is true we need more details of who and who is involved unless its one of our politicians they are covering up for.
A while ago a Bishop was mentioned, can it be d same story.
