Avengers’ Threat: Odua Defenders Union Warns Against Attack On Lagos

The Odua Defenders Union, ODU, has portrayed the danger by a new militant group , the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, to assault Lagos within a matter of days as an insult on the Yoruba race.  In an announcement signed by its President-General, Rabak Anthony, ODU cautioned against the perils ahead if Ijaw militants chose to carry their danger to assault Lagos or any part of Yorubaland.

“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.” The Odua Defenders Union leader said, its members spread across the whole South-West and can deal with the militants threat. The group asked the security agents to go after the Niger Delta Avengers because the Yoruba youths are prepared to face them and other Ijaws militants in Lagos.
