Mouthpiece of Northern Nigeria, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has told the new militants group, the Niger-Delta Avengers, to stop their attack on oil facilities.
ACF said the group’s actions which are sabotaging the nation’s economic progress are unacceptable.
ACF Chairman and former Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Coomassie, in a telephone chat with The Nation said, the several attacks carried out by the NDA were unjustifiable, as necessary machinery to develop the region have been put in place by the Federal Government.
Coomassie said, “There is Ministry of Niger-Delta, they have Niger-Delta Development Company and they have amnesty intervention and money was being passed through all these agencies. So, why didn’t they develop their areas?
“Why are they asking for more? They were in government and certain projects were diverted there, including the fund for the dredging of River Niger. What else do they want?”
