2019 Elections: Nigerian Politicians stockpiling arms in Niger Delta – Militants

The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators has accused some politicians in the country of stockpiling arms and ammunition in the oil producing region ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The militants said the move was aimed at creating mayhem in Niger Delta states, particularly in Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom.

A statement  by leaders of the coalition  claimed that within the last four weeks over 48,000 AK-47 rifles  and ammunition had been moved to different parts of the  region.

The coalition expressed concern  that innocent people  could be affected by the presence of arms and ammunition in wrong hands during the 2019 elections in Niger Delta.
