The statement added that the Delta State Government and the Federal Government with the Joint Task Force and other security agencies in the region should totally discountenance and ignore the so called self acclaimed ex militant groups and their sponsors who are already known in there evil plots and blackmail,and their was never a time the Federal Government entered into an agreement with any group(s)of militants in the Niger Delta to safeguard any NNPC pipelines in the creek.

According to him, “To this end,the Ex Militant leader who is the National Coordinator of the group with others has sternly warned those so called self aclaimed ex militants who embarked on the senseless protest to retrace their steps or will face the wrath of the Group in the creek or would be marked as those persons who are part of the pipeline vandalization syndicate that destroy federal government pipelines and illegal bunkering activities in the creek”

“the kangaroo protest was a systematic way of embarking on new methord of pipeline vandalism in collaboration with their sponsors in the Creek stressing that if any pipeline is destroyed in the creek they would have themselves to blame as the Anti Pipeline Vandalization/Oil Theft and Illegal Bunkery Volunteers Group would Join hands with security agencies to fish them out including their sponsors who are behind this senseless protest from their hiding places ”

The Ex Militant Leader maintained that the the existing peace been enjoyed in the creek must be sustained, and we want to use this median to lauded the Chairman/Managing Director of Ocean Marine Solution Limited, Captain Hosa Okunbor who had worked hard tirelessly to promote peace and development in the Niger Delta region through massive employment and productive engagement of youths in the Creek over the years”

“And He Captain Hosa Okunbor has contributed a lot to the existing peace been enjoyed by the federal government today for his pivotal role he played so far in the days of Niger Delta Avengers in the Creek.”

“Therefore at this end We have passed a vote of implicit confidence on Captain Hosa Okunbor based on his patriotic sterling leadership qualities he has exhibited so far wish has remained untainted in terms of promoting grassroots community base pipeline surveillance services in the Creek of Niger Delta wish has carried community leaders and youth groups along in the Creek,even his pipeline surveillance jobs is centred on transparency and fairness without favouritism to individual or tribe with utmost sense of responsibility because of his competence and capability of handling the pipeline surveillance jobs in the Creek.”
