**Back Boroh, Kachikwu’s Peace Move

Former militant leaders in Bayelsa State have vowed to stop the spread of bombing of oil installations to the state by criminal elements.

They warned members of the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, to steer clear of Bayelsa State as the ex-militant leaders would resist attack on oil installations in the state.

The ex-militants leaders while declaring that they would stamp out criminality from Bayelsa State, commended ‎the Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta, Paul Boroh‎; Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu and the Bayelsa State Government for their commitment to bringing sustainable peace in the state and the Niger Delta region at large.

According to the ex-militant leaders activities of the Niger Delta Avengers and other groups in the Niger Delta region were in no way aimed at advancing the interest of the people.

They reminded members of the NDA that “they signed a pact with the federal government in 2009 to drop their armed struggle and embrace peace”

The ex-militant leaders therefore warned that “what they are doing is in contravention of that pact and advised the NDA and other militant groups in the region to steer clear from Bayelsa state as they would henceforth make it their duty to police the creeks and the length and breadth of the state”

  1. Can someone tell these govt. officials to stop spending the little left to sustain the nation for a while more carrying out stupid and useless media propaganda.

    All these ex-militants are proud to call the new groups criminals as if they were not. If they want let them allow them selves to be used afterall who is standing at their back now… No person will die for them now they should be aware and stop this unwarranted attack on NDA and all the freedom fighters….

    It was them who were criminals kidnapping, Bank robberies, and killing but the current groups are not doing so.
    The staffs of the affected companies are testifying to this and thats why people are not condemning them.

    Islam is the evil in the world and their days are numbered……………..
