FORMER Chairman of the Delta Waterways Security Committee (DSWC), Warri, Delta State, Chief Ayiri Emami, Thursday, said the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), wants to pursue the Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), out of operations in Niger Delta with its consistent and deliberate attacks on its facilities. Emami, who spoke to Saturday Sun on phone, called on the Federal Government to rise to its responsibility and protect the oil multinational.
“Government should quickly check Avengers before they accomplish the plan to stop Chevron operations in the Niger Delta region. The militant group is sending a very strong signal with its unprovoked and unchecked attacks on Chevron’s facilities. “The Federal Government should not sit down watching. It is government’s duty to protect life and property and the property of Chevron is daily at risk,” he said. His words: “This is a very wrong message to investors and should not be tolerated. What they are doing is in the long run to send Chevron packing from the region. It has nothing to do with any struggle.”
