Dokpesi denies sponsoring niger delta avengers

A recent news development!

Raymond Dokpesi, a Nigerian businessman and founder of DAAR Communications, has denied allegations that he sponsored the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a militant group that has been involved in attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta region.

In a statement issued on Monday, Dokpesi described the allegations as "baseless, unfounded, and malicious". He said that he has never had any dealings with the NDA or any other militant group, and that his company has always been committed to promoting peace and stability in the Niger Delta region.

The allegations against Dokpesi were made by the Nigerian government, which accused him of providing financial support to the NDA. The government claimed that Dokpesi's company had been involved in illegal oil bunkering and that he had used the proceeds to fund the militant group.

However, Dokpesi has denied these allegations, saying that they are part of a larger conspiracy to discredit him and his company. He has also threatened to take legal action against the government and anyone who makes such allegations without proof.

The Niger Delta Avengers have been involved in a series of attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta region, which has disrupted oil production and led to a decline in the country's oil exports. The group has been demanding greater autonomy and a greater share of the region's oil wealth for the local communities.

The conflict in the Niger Delta region has been ongoing for many years, and has been marked by violence, corruption, and environmental degradation. The Nigerian government has been accused of not doing enough to address the root causes of the conflict, and of using military force to suppress the militants rather than engaging in dialogue and negotiations.
