A report from Sahara Reporters has alleged reasons why Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari canceled his one-day trip to Ogoniland in Rivers state.
Mr. Buhari was scheduled to flag-off a massive exercise to clean up the areas which has been polluted by oil wastes in Ogoni on Thursday.
"The cancelation is not unconnected to security threats to the President from a newly formed militant group, Niger Delta Avengers who had threatened to kill the President should he step foot in the Niger Delta region," the report from Sahara Reporters alleged.
"The president had blamed an ear infection for canceling the visit to Lagos where he was scheduled to commission some projects finished by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode two weeks ago," the report further added.
Although the Presidency is yet to issue any official statement on why Buhari failed to show, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who came in his stead, said he would soon visit Ogoniland in the near future.
