Three militant groups, Reformed Egbesu Boys, Egbesu Water Lions and Egbesu Mythier Fraternity, have disowned the Avengers and Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta, MEND, which raised a negotiation team to dialogue with the federal government.
The General Officer Commanding, GOC, Intelligence, of the group, Tony Alagbakeriowei, and GOC, Logistics and Admin, General Ebi Abakoromor, in a statement on behalf of the three militant groups, said neither NDA nor MEND had the capacity to represent them at any meeting.
The joint group vowed to unleash more terror if the FG ignored its warnings.
The statement, addressed to the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who is driving the dialogue process, read: “We write on behalf of the Reformed Egbesu Boys of the Niger Delta, Egbesu Water Lions and Egbesu Mythier Fraternity to bring to the urgent attention of the Federal Government that the negotiation with the Avengers is lopsided.
“It will be recalled that various militant groups make up the Niger Delta Avengers and we were taken aback that the Federal Government team is negotiating with Gbaramatu kingdom representatives only.
“Be reminded that this current crisis is not a particular ex-militant leader affair and, therefore, Gbaramatu representatives cannot negotiate with the Federal Government to the exclusion of other active participants in the crisis.”
The groups went on: “Consequently, we warn that the negotiation team be expanded to include various active group reps that participated in this current crisis. Failure to heed this wise counsel, aggrieved stakeholders will resort to doing what we know best
