The Primate of the Anglican Church in Nigeria, Most Reverend Nicholas Okoh, has condemned the recent attacks on the nation’s oil pipeline by the Niger Delta Avengers. Most Reverend Okoh spoke on Friday at the 2016 Synod of the Church held in Abuja. Further condemning the situation with huge potential of affecting the nation’s revenue that largely depends on crude sales, he, however, called for a ceasefire by the agitators in the interest of national development. The Primate also urged the Federal Government to collaborate with host communities to secure oil pipelines. “Nigeria is fighting too many battles at this time,” Most Reverend Okoh said. His condemnation of the attack on pipelines came a day after a gas pipeline operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in the region was attacked.
