The Odua Defenders Union, ODU has warned the new militant group, Niger Delta Avengers of the dangers if the group made good its threat of attacking Lagos within a matter of days. Odu in a statement signed by its President-General, Rabak Anthony considered the threat as an insult to the Yoruba race.
“This threat that was published in all the media, both electronic and print, cannot be taken for granted. Therefore, the Yoruba are ready to make the first move against the Ijaws in Lagos before their ‘brothers’ will storm Lagos. “We fought the Ijaws here in Lagos before because of this their arrogance and they know we are ready for them. They came here about five years ago also to attack the Atlas Cove where Naval officers guarding tank farms were killed. “So, we are not taking this threat without preparation. We are ready, let them make the move.”
ODU boasted that its members are spread across the whole South-West and can deal with the militants threat. It advised the military to go after the Niger Delta Avengers because the Yoruba youths are prepared to confront them and other Ijaw militants in Lagos.
