We are ready for Saudi mercenaries – Militants say

The Niger Delta Avengers say they are ready for
the mercenaries from Saudi Arabia, which the
Federal Government allegedly hired.
Information Nigeria reports that a staff of the Saudi
Arabia embassy confirmed that the Nigerian
government paid $280 million to the mercenaries.
The militant group also said they are not disturbed
by the news, adding that they are waiting.
The Saudi group might have been hired to stop the
activities of the Niger Delta Avengers who have
been blowing up crude oil facilities in the oil rich
region.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo recently blamed the
militants » for the current economic situation in
the country.
Osinbajo also said the militants are fighting for
their pockets and not the Niger Delta people as
they claim.
Reacting to the news, the Niger Delta Avengers’
spokesman, Brig.-Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, said “The
Niger Delta Avengers do not care if the federal
government hires or concludes plans to bring in
Bluewater, Graywater, Pinkwater, Whitewater or
Blackwater mercenaries from Saudi Arabia. It is
none of our business, the Saudi Arabia, has its own
problem of terrorism, so coming here to help
Nigerian government is funny. The Niger Delta
region will win this war.”
Traditional rulers in Bayelsa state have alleged
that some aides of President Buhari are frustrating
the planned dialogue » between the Federal
Government and the militant group.
