Naija delta will burn if buhari dies,avengers gets stern warning
The crisis in the Niger Delta region
appears to have escalated following
threats by militant group, the Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA) to kill President
Muhammadu ahead of the president’s
scheduled visit to Rivers state to flag off
the UNEP clean-up of Ogoniland
on Thursday, 2nd June, 2016.
Niger Delta Militants have resolved to
continue the relentless attacks on oil and gas
installations in the region despite the federal
government’s deployment of fighter jets and
the military in Delta state.
In the assassination threat which was made
in a recording sent to IBTimes UK, a man is
heard saying during a phone conversation
with one of the hosts of the UK-based Radio
Biafra that Buhari would be signing his death
warrant by visiting the delta.
The representative of the group issuing the
threat said Buhari should sign his death
warrant before coming to Port Harcourt or
try to visit any state of the Niger Delta
community, Biafra land, adding that if the
president tries to step his foot in any
community of the Niger Delta, in Biafraland,
he will not go back alive.

The group also said that any Niger Deltan
who will try to walk with Buhari will also go
to his grave that day.
This latest threat by the group is coming
in the wake of a resolve by militants to
continue relentless attacks on oil and gas
installations in the region despite the federal
government’s deployment of fighter jets and
the military in Delta state.
The group carried out its threats by bombing
two oil wells belonging to Chevron oil on
June 1.
According to the group, the Chevron oil wells
affected are RMP 24 and RMP 23, described
as Chevron’s highest producing wells.
However, a sections of Nigerians particularly
from those from the north have expressed
outrage over the threats by the militants to
assassinate the president, warning that ant
attempt to do that will spell doom for the
region.
