‘We are not Avengers, we are not militants’
Community leader of Orogun community in Ughelli north local government area of Delta State, Chief Josiah Ntekume has dissociated the community from Ogheneghochuko, a self-styled militant leader who threatened to kill President Muhammadu Buhari on video last week.
Ogheneghochuko had in a viral video threatened to kill the president, his family, as well as governors of the south east region if the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not released by the end of July, 2016.
According to This Day, the Delta Chief, Ntekume stepped forward to reveal the militant’s identity in order to dissociate himself and the people of the community from the militant who claimed he’s from Orogun and that he is the leader of Biafra Avengers 2.
Ntekume said: “It is obvious he is not from Orogun. He did not mention his surname. We have been doing internal investigations since on the 7th of July when the video came out and indications show that he is not from Orogun.
“Orogun is in Ughelli North Local Government area of Delta State. We do not belong or subscribe to Biafra ideology. We do not belong to Niger Delta Avengers. Our community should not be dragged into this nonsense. This man is just trying to drag our peace-loving community into the nonsense that is going on in the Niger Delta.
“If you listen carefully to the voice, you will know that after mentioning Orogun, every other body language and things he said were geared towards the South-East and because he has threatened the President, his family and governors in Biafra region, I want the whole world to understand that he is not from or part of Orogun and we condemn the action”.
