PANDEF in talks with Avengers to stop planned hostilities
Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, led by a former Federal Commissioner for Information, Senator Edwin Clark, is in talks with the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, to avert the plan by the militant group to resume bombing of oil facilities in the region.
Vanguard reliably gathered that PANDEF had sent emissaries to the Avengers and its delegates met with representatives of the militant group at an unspecified location in one of the Niger Delta states.
The Federal Government has also opened discussions with PANDEF through the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Brigadier-General Paul Boroh (retd.).
While Pastor Usani met with Chief Clark in Abuja on Tuesday, Boroh, who is also the Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, parleyed with him, during the week, on the way forward.
