Chief Frank Omare, a former Delta State Commissioner for Environment, has denied an online report  which accused him of sponsoring the militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, and fueling the communal crisis between his community, Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja.

In a petition to the police, Omare said:

I wish to state clearly and in unequivocal terms that I do not know any member of Niger Delta Avengers. I am also not one of the sponsors of the Niger Delta Avengers, as I have no reason to do so.

I also did not hold any meeting with members of the Niger Delta Avengers or anybody whatsoever at  Ogulaha or any other community on how to attack and wipe out Aladja.

In the past seven years that I have been in the Delta State Government, I have used my position to promote peace and harmonious relationship between Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja.

Former Governors James Ibori, Emmanuel Uduaghan and the present governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, can testify to this fact.
