Continuing, Izon-Ebi said, “But, we want to warn them that we, the Niger Delta youths, in this 21st century will not accept killing of innocent Christians or burning of churches.

The NDRC also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to demonstrate his role as the current leader and the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria in ensuring unity, peace and harmony in the country.
