Niger Delta Avengers accuses government of delaying dialogue to get drones

• Bayelsa gov Dickson cautions army on use of force
• Okowa seeks better intelligence on tackling militancy

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) has accused the Federal Government of foot-dragging dialogue with militants, in order to execute a devious plot against Niger Delta people.

In a statement on its website, the group said intelligence available to it indicates that proposed dialogue by the Federal Government is a strategy to buy time, while drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) from the United States are being expected.
