Saudi Arabia Blackwater Arrives Nigeria, Set To Battle Avengers

If the news making the round is anything to go by,
the Saudi Arabia Blackwater military contractor
beckoned on by President Mohammadu Buhar, to
help the Nigerian Army fight the Niger Delta
Avengers, a militia group which has claimed
responsibility of destroying oil installations in the
region has arrived.

It would be recall that President Buhari may have
struck a $258 million deal with the Saudi Arabia
‘Blackwater’ military contractor to help the Nigerian
Armed Forces in fighting militants in the oil-rich
Niger Delta region in the southern part of Nigeria.

According to a website, Vaxity, a staff of the Royal
Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Nigeria
confirmed the deal which is “part of the agreement
in the Saudi-led Sunni Islamic coalition against
terrorism” which President Buhari signed up for on
behalf of Nigeria.

The deal, is specifically targeted at fighting the
militants in the Niger Delta and nothing to do with
combating the two globally recognised terrorist
groups in Nigeria – Boko Haram, the world’s
deadliest and the Fulani herdsmen militia, now the
deadliest terrorist group in Nigeria, the report
disclosed.

A Yemeni army spokesperson revealed in February
2016 that mercenaries from US private security firm,
Black-water are among the 400 Saudi military
contractors fighting in the country.

The Niger Delta Avengers, said it does not care if
the Buhari-led government hires mercenaries from
Saudi Arabia or anywhere to fight them.

Reacting to online reports of the president’s deal
with Saudi mercenaries to combat the group,
spokesperson of the Avengers, Brigadier General
Mudoch Agbinibo said that the militants are not
disturbed by the report.
