The Police have warned the Niger Delta Avengers against its planned secession from Nigeria, saying it is a treasonable offence.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Donald Awunah, stated that the security agencies would not allow any action that might lead to a breakdown of law and order in any part of the country.

He advised the militant group against daring the might of the Federal Government, describing their reported plan to declare a Niger Delta republic on October 1 as provocative.

Awunah admonished the militants to channel their grievances through legal means, insisting that the police and other security agencies would not condone any act of lawlessness in the region.

He said, “I believe they (militants) know that it is a treasonable felony to declare a republic. The police and other security agencies will not allow any treasonable action to be perpetrated in any part of the country. They have been warned.”

The Niger Delta Avengers on Thursday threatened that it will declare a Niger Delta Republic on October 1, should President Muhammadu Buhari fails to restructure the country.

It also said the group was praying for the Buhari-led Federal Government to discover oil in commercial quantity in the northern part of the country so as to free the people of the Niger Delta from her oppressive tendency.

The NDA had claimed responsibility for major attacks on oil facilities in the region in recent past, vowing not to relent until the nation’s economy was completely crippled.

The group’s spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, stated this on Thursday in reaction to President Buhari’s order directing the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to increase the tempo on oil exploration in the North-East.

The group said that once oil in commercial quantity is discovered in the North, its people would appreciate what the people of the Niger Delta have been experiencing in the hands of the Nigerian government.

The NDA re-emphasized that the country was in dire need of restructuring to possibly save the country from doom, accusing the present government of dividing the country through her ‘misdirected policies.’

The NDA said, “Our prayer for Buhari and the Northern hypocrites (the Northern governors) is that oil should be found in commercial quantity in the North so that they can let the Niger Delta go.

“The Buhari-led government has failed Nigerians with its misdirected policies that have divided the country. As such, nobody wants to be part of that failed state; not even the Niger Delta.”

The statement added further, “The October 1 declaration of independence is still sacrosanct, if the Nigerian government fails to retrace its step by restructuring this country.

“We want to warn the general public that those using the NDA to defraud the  people, the days of reckoning are close-by.”

seriously?

Police? Na wao. After boko haram sacked them in north east ? They should keep quiet and allow military to talk. Nobody takes them serious

Laughable. So what of all the previous bombing etc? That was not treason abi? That was play play

Naija police dont have a solution for avengers

Federal might is a not a child's play. Jonathan for advice his boys well o.

The NDA threat to me is a huge joke, even their sponsors know the implication of such catastrophic declaration.

Daring the federal might under a retd.General as a sitting president is like trying to stop and search a military officer.

If the avengers are in doubt they should go and ask that one they call kanu the Ipob mouth warrior their sympathizer/attachee-in-chief in kuje who is regarded as a treasonable felon?

NB: If any ipobian quote I'll not discuss their freedom to have a dream nation with buhari again.

Have the police finished collecting #20 bribes from motorists

Tell that to Shekau and his boys who declared their Islamic caliphate since with the help of their northern sympathizers and Alhaji-sponsors.

Imagine police talking as if na dem go fight ND people when time reach mtcheew.

Just like Gorbachev of former USSR & Basir of Sudan, Buhari is about to preside over re-enactment of USSR part two. if only the dullard hard a grain of sense, even as little as a mustard seed, we wont be in such crises we found ourselves today!

So CIA was right after all, they only missed the date by a little margin!

I think this is a different Scenario,ipob is made up of ignorant and gullible people who want to declare an independent country with out arms and any strategic planning. Niger delta militants are already well Armed to the teeth and have logistics to their advantage because of the terrain .

The emergency and quick search for oil in the north already tells you where the mind of Buhari and the north currently is.

The people I am presently feeling pathetic for are the gullibles who own 75% of Abuja and 43% of Lagos

The unity of Nigeria is negotiable, for those having heart attack NDA has prayed for you all including the waste .

Somebody wants to die? (NDA).......

Ask yourself.

Nothing will happen on October 1st. NDA should stop causing tension by issuing empty threat.
