Unic Press UK: Niger Delta Avengers, an armed militant group in the Niger Delta part of Nigeria, says there is no ongoing negotiation or dialogue with the Nigerian government. The statement by its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, was a clear rebuttal of the report in several media outfits (Unic Press UK excluded) that a negotiation is ongoing.
WE ARE NOT READY FOR ANY NEGOTIATION OR DIALOGUE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVT.

The militant group said on Thursday, the 18th August 2016, that:
“Our prayer for Buhari and the northern hypocrite (northern Governors’) is that oil should be found in commercial quantity in the North, so they can let the Niger Delta go.
“The October 1st declaration of independence is still sacrosanct. If the Nigeria government fails to retrace it’s step by restructuring this country.”
