A new Militant Group has made good on its promise to blow up a pipeline in the Niger Delta region if the Federal Government did not stop its one-sided talks with the Ijaw ethnic nationality.
The group who call themselves the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDJM, Wednesday, blew up a major trunk delivery line in Delta state.
Their grouse is that they feel the government’s effort for peace is one-sided and focused on the Ijaw ethnic group alone and had in a statement by the spokesperson, self-styled General Aldo Agbalaja, said the Central Operational Command of the group has approved the commencement of demolition and evacuation of uplands tagged ‘Operation Zero’ to correct the wrongs that have afflicted our people for years.
The group had said, “As a mark of our seriousness and to prove we are people of our words, at about 02.00hours of today; Wednesday, August 10, 2016, operatives of the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate brought down a major trunk delivery line from Isoko to the Eriemu Manifold in Urhobo, belonging to the NPDC/Shoreline Resources”
“We would also want to use this medium to give a very strong warning to the operatives of the asset NPDC/Shorelines not to commence repairs pending when they get signals from us, otherwise the inevitable may occur to their personnel, as we have earlier warned them to begin evacuating the uplands,”
They warned that this was only the beginning as they have targets to hit all over. “This is just a glimpse of what is to come, there are several assets already penned down for destruction. This line of action has been made inevitable by an unjust system, which only responds to the violent to the detriment of the peaceful and law-abiding.”
