A former militant  in the Niger delta, General Africa Ukparasia, on Thursday accused General Government Ekpemu otherwise known as Tompolo of being the brain behind the recent vandalism of oil installations in the Niger Delta, saying he was prepared to assist the government to stop the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers.

General Africa told journalists in Abuja that he will not allow Tompolo to make the country ungovernable for the Buhari administration, warning him to desist from any further action against oil installations.

He recalled that during the run of the 2015 general elections Tompolo vowed to make the country ungovernable for the Buhari government if former Goodluck Jonathan failed to win the presidential election.

He said: “I want to state categorically that the Niger Delta Avenger is not a new group. It is Tompolo that is behind the group and what they are out to do us to carry out their threat to make the government ungovernable for the APC. We will not allow that to happen.
