The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has begged members of the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers to halt their planned attacks on oil facilities in the region over demands made by #EndSARS protesters.
The Senator, who made the appeal on yesterday when he hosted a delegation of Oil and Gas Host Communities of Nigeria (HOSCON) in Abuja, led by elder statesman, Chief (Dr.) Wellington Okrika.
During the meeting, Omo-Agege further stated that that any strike by the militants would create economic setback for the country and additional environmental degradation in the area.
He also stressed that with the nation still battling with the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the aftermath of End SARS protests which was hijacked by hoodlums, it cannot afford another militancy problem at the moment.
