The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, have denied reports that they had nominated Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, to head their dialogue team with the Federal Government, describing same as the lie of the century.
NDA, in a statement, yesterday, by their spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo, while reiterating their support for the Chief Clark-led Niger Delta Elders and Stakeholders conference committee to lead the pan-Niger Delta negotiations/dialogue team, said that it was ready for talks whenever the Federal Government was ready.
Agbinibo said: “The NDA cannot be teleguided by Charles Okah and Henry Okah from their respective prison cells using disorganised characters of the APC from the Niger Delta to impress Abuja. “We are not unaware of the creations of the Nigerian intelligentsia community and security apparatus to sustain the Niger Delta struggle to bloat their pocket and credibility.
“We are amazed that Prof. Wole Soyinka has been taken on the jugular by enemies of the Niger Delta because of his belief that the government of the day should understand the need to restructure the country and listen to the Niger Delta agitation positively.
“That, we, the NDA, have named Prof Soyinka and some incredible names to advise and lead any group, is the lie of the century. The handwriting is so clear that our nobel laureate’s name is going the infamous way, as he is being named as an adviser with some unscrupulous characters as NDA dialogue team with the government of Nigeria.
“Putting the records straight, the name/names parading as factions of the Niger Delta Avengers are just the figments of the imaginations of some persons protecting their jobs and hell bent on derailing the wheel of progress in the history of Nigeria and the Niger Delta agitation.”

Professor Wole Soyinka, theNobel Laureate, has been chosen by militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, as one of members of it dialogue group in the proposed dialogue with the federal government.
Spokesman for the Dialogue Group, Mr. Ballantyne Agiri, made this known to the New Telegraph on Tuesday.
He hinted that the militants had set up dialogue group to engage the Federal Government in meaningful dialogue as part of the initiatives to end the crisis rocking the Niger Delta region.
He said the Nobel Laureate was chosen because of the track records as a freedom fighter as well as a credible and detribalised personality.
Agiri said the leadership of the militant group has for months been looking for credible persons who are capable of standing for them and present their grievances before the federal government.
He said, “I was on my own when they invited me to work for them.
“But I told them that one person cannot hold dialogue with the government, that we should look for eminent Nigerians who have the pedigree to do a good job.
“The moment I mentioned Professor Wole Soyinka, they became interested because, according to them, he is somebody who is not from the Niger Delta, but has a credible and detribalised personality.”

Amidst denial, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has been allegedly fingered in the formation and activities of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
Also, findings by the security have confirmed that oil installations were mined before the May 29, 2015 handover to President Muhammadu Buhari.
These are the basic points of intelligence report, already made available to the Presidency but which is still being studied.
Last August 7, Jonathan denied having any links with NDA, restating his commitment to the nation’s unity.
The intelligence gathering was said to be a confirmation of a similar claim by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta(MEND).
According to a top intelligence source, who spoke in confidence last night, the NDA was formed as a Plan B option before the 2015 general election.
The source said the initial plan was to ask the NDA to declare Niger Delta Republic immediately after Jonathan’s defeat but the ex-President was believed to have prevailed on the group to shelve the idea.
The NDA was said to have been resuscitated after the Federal Government launched a massive probe into the mismanagement of the oil sector.
The revelations from the probe were said to have overwhelmed the ex-President, who felt he and ex-First Lady Patience Jonathan were being targeted.
The source said: “We have intelligence report that it is true that the ex-President has been meeting with the NDA militants before the general election.
“The initial plan was to declare Niger Delta Republic after Jonathan’s electoral loss but the NDA members were taken aback when the ex-President conceded.
“Findings confirmed that the ex-President and others being probed, resuscitated the NDA plan when the Federal Government initiated a probe into the oil sector.
“We suspect that the ex-President is afraid that the way the investigation in the oil industry was going, he and his wife will be questioned.
“The fact that some of the conditions put forward by the NDA, including not going after Government Ekpemuopolo Tompolo, and stopping investigation of all corruption probes, have confirmed some of the intelligence.
Responding to a question, the source added: “Intelligence report also showed that the evidence of the attacks of oil installations was planned before May 29. The NDA and other militants had mined these installations before the handover.
“But following the probe of the oil sector, they were mandated to start detonating it.
The source added: “Intelligence report also indicated that a former Coordinator of Amnesty Programme Kingsley Kuku and a former National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh might have played some key roles in the formation and operation of NDA.”
But both Metuh and Kuku have also denied any role in the activities of NDA.
When contacted, a high-ranking government source, who wants to remain anonymous, said: “It has been known in government circles that Jonathan may be behind the NDA. The speed with which he denied the allegation spoke volumes.
“Despite the denial, the allegations have refused to go away.
“His allegation that MEND is after him is to divert attention from his roles as the mastermind of the NDA . His morbid fear of being investigated alongside his wife is behind what is going on. Investigation has revealed massive looting under his administration. His alarm was just to pre-empt being probed.”

A video that has gone viral suggests that the notorious Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and the BIAFRA sovereign state agitator may have formed an alliance to engage the Federal Government in a brutal fight to force self-determination.
“This video is for you the corrupt leaders of the zoo called Nigeria. Buhari’s family will die soon, and most especially that one called Zara, that is the name I gave to my dog. Buhari has been holding our director. “I want Buhari to know that nobody has the monopoly of violence, this is the time for him to lose some members of his family. Release our director, Nnamdi Kanu now, if you want any negotiations and you must release him before the end of this month. Today is the 7th of July.”
Those were the words of a self-acclaimed leader of a new militant group, ‘Biafra Avengers’, which emerged in a new video released on Thursday but went viral yesterday. The man, who identified himself as Ogone Ogochukwu, claims to be a leader of a group that is sympathetic towards the cause of both Niger Delta Avengers and pro-Biafra agitators.
In the video that lasted eight minutes, 55 seconds, Ogochukwu, while threatening to kill President Muhammadu Buhari and all members of the nation’s first family, warned that the consequences would be grave if the Federal Government failed to heed his warning.
The troubling video showed a young man in dark glasses, dressed in camouflage and a bullet-proof vest reading from a prepared speech with the Biafran flag hanging behind him. Apart from the threat to the government to release Kanu, the group also threatened to go after all the governors of the states that make up Igboland while declaring the old area known as Biafra as a ‘no fly zone’. The new militants warned that they would bring down any aircraft that go against the group’s demands effective July 7.
He speaks further in the video: “If he fails to release our director, Nnamdi Kanu in the coming days, we warn, we will do what we want to do, and we will carry out our mission. After Buhari, we will go after all the governors in Igboland. “Buhari should tell his military or Boko Haram members to release Biafra-land now, before the end of this month, otherwise what will become of you people, you will never forget it.
“We hereby warn all fake Igbos not to speak for us, we know those that are speaking for us, we will do anything to restore Biafra, more groups are coming, Buhari, you have not seen anything yet. The worst is coming if you fail to release our director. “We have a link with Niger Delta Avengers. Nigeria will burn to ashes.
Today is the 7th of July, I just want to give you serious warning, there should be no flying in Biafra-land. Biafra-land is hereby declared no fly zone’, if you try it, we will bring you down, get the warning now,” Ogochukwu said. Advising security operatives not to bother looking for him, he said that he hailed from Orogun in Delta State and that he had no relations through whom he could be traced.
He asserted that he had nothing to lose if died in the course of the Biafran mission. “I have no mum, I have no dad, I have no one to look unto, and so if I die today, what is the point? We are not losing anything. But we will make sure you lose your family, Buhari you will lose your family.
“Today is the 7th day of July 2016, I promise you that Aso Rock will burn; Rochas Okorocha and all the governors in Igboland, your lives are in danger. “Buhari has just started a fight that he can not finish, we warned him. The unarmed Biafrans you are sending your army to kill are innovative, they are intellectuals, and they are warriors. They hardly start something but when they do, they don’t go back. We are Biafrans, we are the avengers, and we will come for you. Those against Biafra freedom, wait for us.”
“I plead with Igbos that have not joined any group to please look for groups to join, Hausas and Fulanis have no place in Biafra land; wake up, we will fight to the finish. “Destroy anything destroyable in Biafra-land, Nigeria is a zoo created by Lord Lugard. This is Niger Delta Avengers and Biafra avengers number two. We are coming back,” he said
