The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) in the morning of Sunday, August 14 challenged the commander of Operation Delta Safe, Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie and commanding officer, Nigeria Navy Service (NNS) Delta, Commodore Joseph Dzunye, telling both men to come to the creeks of the Niger Delta, instead of operating from the cities and apprehend “sleeper” agents, who they call as Avengers members to in order to get favour from their top officers.

Image maker of the group, self-styled Brig General Mudoch Agbinibo, confronted both men in a statement refuting the claim by NNS Delta commander on Saturday, August 13 that two suspects, Stanley Tonghan and Felix Miyenminiye, arrested by the navy a few days ago,were members of NDA.
Agbinibo stated that both Tonghan and Miyenminiye were spies working in collaboration with security outfits. He said both men were given N5 million by two leaders, whose names were not mentioned to give Nigeria military intelligence on the activities of the Avengers.
The statement reads: “We made it clear that the Nigeria military is using sleepers’ agents to track or checkmate the activities and operation of the Niger Delta Avengers. But the more they try, the more they run into crisis with their employed sleeper agents.”
“Stanley Tonghan and Felix Miyenminiye that were arrested and paraded by the Nigeria Navy Delta are few of the sleeper agents working for Nigeria Military in conjunction with (two leaders, names withheld)
“The suspects (Tonghan and Felix Miyenminiye) was paid 5 Million Naira to give Nigeria military intelligent on the activities of NDA. On failing to deliver, the suspects were arrested and tagged NDA members, what a shame?
“Stanley Tonghan and Felix Miyenminiye are not members of NDA we do not know or have any connection with them. The Navy Commanding Office NNS Delta, Warri(Commodore Joseph Dzunve) is trying to impress his boss in Abuja, but arresting sleeper agents recruited by his predecessor.”
