More Troubles For Buhari As New Militant Group Demands Sovereign State

The group is allegedly demanding for “Niger Delta Republic in the next couple of days.”, else they will cripple the oil industry across the nine Niger Delta states.

Recall that the President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration has made several failed attempts to bring relief to the already crisis-ravaged region of the Niger Delta.

The leader of the Asawana Deadly Force of Niger Delta (ADFND), Commander Olomubini Kakarakokoro, a.k.a No Mercy, in a statement retrieved by newsmen said, unless the Federal Government grants their request, they will proceed to bomb Bonga field flow station amongst others.

“Except our demand for Niger Delta Republic is granted, without further notice to the Federal Government, we shall proceed to bomb Bonga field flow station, Asaba- Onistha Bridge, Third Mainland Bridge and other major bridges in the Southtern part of the country, just for a start.

“The Federal Government should as a matter of urgency, withdraw all the military check points from the riverside areas of the Niger Delta, else we shall proceed to match against any baby military formation in the region without further notice.

“We are most dreaded, deadly and dangerous group in Niger Delta. Our team is comprised of specialists in different fields of war, and is poised to win the struggle for a Niger Delta State. Our struggle is not for monetary benefit or the so-called monthly N65,000 amnesty stipend. It is for the liberation and the development of the Niger Delta region.

“We therefore, warn every other group or persons as regards the fake dialogue process embarked upon by the Federal Government to know that they are not doing that for us. We are taking over from our brothers, the Niger Delta Avengers.

“As we speak all preparations and plans are on ground to strike and bring down the crude oil production to 0%, irrespective of the of the military presence in the region. The Federal Government will hear from us.”

THE WHISTLER, on 20th June, 2016, reported a similar scenario where three militant groups; Reformed Egbesu Boys, Egbesu Water Lions and Egbesu Mythier Fraternity, said neither the Niger Delata Avengers nor the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta (MEND), has their mandate to represent them in any dialogue with the Federal Government.
