According to a general
overseer, who is also a UN Peace Ambassador, the avengers are incurring the
wrath of God by their activities.
The General Overseer of
Victory Assembly Ministry (VAM), Bishop Jonathan Eze has cautioned Niger Delta
militants to stop blowing up oil pipelines or face the wrath of God.
Eze gave the warning in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Owerri.
The Bishop was reacting to
the incessant attacks on oil pipelines by the new militant group, the Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA).
“The Avengers are not fighting a just cause
because their activities are affecting and threatening the peace of the nation.
“Nigerian oil is a natural
gift from God and nobody has the right to destroy it,’’ he said.
Eze added that if the
Avengers were aggrieved over any issue, they should address it in a civil
manner rather than threaten the country.
He said if the country must
remain one, no group should threaten the peaceful existence of the nation in
the name of militancy.
Eze also blamed Niger Delta
leaders for allowing the situation to “get out of hand’’.
“The leaders in the Niger
Delta region are to be blamed because they are the people that groomed the
militants and they should call them to order.
“How can there be
governors, senators, traditional rulers and other top government officials from
the region; and yet they cannot caution their children from destroying
government assets,’’ he said.
According to him, spiritual
leaders will no longer seat back to watch militants destroy the country.
“If the militants do not
stop this madness, we will fight them spiritually and subdue them,” he said.
The clergyman, however,
encouraged the Federal Government to take a critical look into the issue and
handle it with diplomacy.
