The Niger Delta Avengers have mocked the reports that the Nigerian Navy arrested its logistics supplier, describing it as “the biggest joker of the 21st century”.
In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, the Nigerian Navy Director of Information, Commodore Christian Ezekobe, said the NDA supplier was picked up on July 11 at about 11am.
“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”.
This was refuted by the NDA through its spokesman, Brig.Gen Mudoch Agbinibo in a statement issued yesterday. He called on Nigerians to ignore the claim, saying none of its loyalists has been arrested. “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; even their business partners (illegal oil bunkers) with which things have gone went south are NDA. Sea pirates are now NDA.”
