“The Niger Delta Volunteers can no longer keep silent while a few blood thirsty and money hungry politicians who have been declaring war against all individuals who crossed their path, continue to vandalise the resources of the Niger Delta region at the expense of the masses

“Moreover, the Interim Management Commiittee of the NDDC should be dissolved immediately and the substantive board constituted to run the affairs of the Commission.

“The recent demise of the Commission’s Acting Executive director, finance and administration, Mr Ibanga Etang, which has been associated with COVID-19 is concocted and many observers suspect that the deceased must have been poisoned and silenced to clear the road for easy cover up for the misdeeds of the IMC, since it’s alleged that the director had threatened to expose all the dirty activities and corruption that had been going on in the commission in the past few months.

“We hereby demand that investigation be carried out by the office of the Inspector General of Police to identify the killers of the director”.

The Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Minister, Anietie Ekong could not react to the issues raised in the release as he was unable to pick his calls neither was he able to respond to the text message as at the time of filing the report.
