The Niger Delta Avengers have in a statement denied any involvement in the killing of Nigerian soldiers in Warri that occurred on Wednesday.
The NDA on their website said they would bring the culprits to book.
The attack was on a military houseboat located inside the creek around Omadino, an Itsekiri community in Warri, Delta state at about 8:00pm on Wednesday June 1st.
Two soldiers and 5 civilians were killed in the attack.
The NDA in their statement said that they don’t want to shed the blood of innocents and that their war was only on oil installations.
They advised that other groups could borrow a leaf from their book and that passing a point across did not necessarily involve the taking of life.
You can read the statement below.
The Niger Delta Avengers were not involved in the attack of the Military houseboat around Warri, Delta State. Killing of sleeping Soldiers is not our style. We promise the world that in this Process of liberating our People, not a single blood of Nigeria soldiers will be wasted despite the provocation.
Even the Inhumane Nigeria soldiers are exempted, our war is on Oil installations not to take innocent lives. For the fact we can’t give Life, we also don’t have the power to take any life. But we (Avengers) are assuring the Families of the affected soldiers that we will bring the culprits to book.
When it’s time to face the military in combat let the whole world know that we won’t be the ones to throw the first punch.
This message is going to all groups parading themselves as freedom fighters. You can fight for your people without killing innocent souls NDA have proved it. we were able to drop Nigeria Oil production from 2million Barrels to just 800,000 barrels without killing a soul.
We are warning every group to follow our footsteps. The days of Killing and Kidnapping are over.
