The Niger Delta Avengers have blown up oil well belonging to Chevron near Dibi flow Station in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The Avengers made this known on Wednesday in their tweeter handle@NDAvengers.
The tweet says:
“At 1:00am today, the @NDAvengers blow up Well RMP 20 belonging to Chevron located 20 meters away from Dibi flow Station in Warri North LGA.
“This is to the General public we’re not negotiating with any Committee.
“If Fed Govt is discussing with any group they’re doing that on their own.”
Meanwhile, Elombah.com reported on Tuesday that, according to sources, President Muhammadu Buhari is in secret meeting with the Niger Delta Avengers.
The meeting is reportedly taking place in London along with former President Goodluck Jonathan and some British authorities.
The report, along with recent developments, seem to have infuriated the militants that prompted the recent onslaught according to their statement:
“This is to the General public we’re not negotiating with any Committee.
“If Fed Govt is discussing with any group they’re doing that on their own.”
The source alleged that Buhari is not in London for ear infection treatment as widely acclaimed by the Presidency.
Rather, he is there for a secret negotiation meeting with the Niger Delta Avengers.
The self-claimed- insider said he is privy to the behind-the-scene arrangement on how to stop the further threat of the Avengers to oil installations in the region.
He said Buhari will be in London to meet with Jonathan and the representatives of the British government funding truce to the impasse.
Following meetings with former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, it was reported that Buhari sought their advice on the crisis in Niger Delta.
It would be recalled that Jonathan was briefly in Nigeria 4 days ago and met with the President in his office before jetting out again, back to London.
Obasanjo and Jonathan reportedly advised Buhari to meet with the agitators in a neutral place away from the media – prompting the London trip.
The source said that some of the boys behind the Avenger will be arriving London today on the invitation of the British government to be part of the peace process.
However, with the most recent destruction unleashed at the Chevron oil facility, it seems the Avengers are not ready for any negotiations.
