The proposed plan to declare Niger Delta republic on August 1 by Adaka Boro Avengers, ABA who claimed to have the collaboration of other militant groups in the Niger Delta region has suffered a setback.
Following the call by the Adaka Boro Avengers, ABA, urging indigenes of the region to return home, the Foundation for Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusade, FHRACC and Centre for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, both in Delta State have kicked against the proposed move.
The groups on Tuesday called on the militant group to abort their mission and intention to declare a republic of the Niger Delta region.
In separate statements issued by the groups in Warri, they noted that the right thinking indigenes of the area are not on board with the plan to declare a Niger delta republic.
The FHRACC national president, Alaowei Cleric noted: “The growing threats by some militants groups , particularly the Adaka Boro Avengers to declare Niger Delta Republic on the August 1, 2016 does not conform with the tenets of the Niger Delta struggle.”
