PARIS, FEBRUARY 23, 2016 (DGW) - A Niger Delta militant group under the umbrella of Niger Delta Avengers has threatened more attacks on oil installations in the region if their demands are not met.
Recalled the aforementioned group claimed responsibility for the attacks on Forcados Terminal Pipeline in Delta State for failure of the Federal Government to listened to and address their grievances.
The group vowed: “Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, Forcados terminal is our latest casualty. There are many more to follow in the days and weeks ahead.”
In a statement made available to our reporter in Warri, Delta State the group warned of the dangers inherent in not meeting and addressing its grievances early enough threatening that attacks on oil installations all over the region that will reduce Nigeria's oil production capacity to zero.
“The same factor that brought about the Niger Delta arms struggle is fast resurfacing as the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is poised to exterminate Niger Delta people for being benevolent enough to allow the nation’s mono-economy thrive on our oil.
“We are being oppressed, pushed to the wall on various fronts, which is why we have picked up the challenge to be the outlaws this government will have to contend with till daily production of oil is reduced to zero in the Niger Delta, so government can use the oil from the North to run Nigeria’s mono-economy.
“We believe that Nigeria can practice true federalism where our resources will be controlled by us and used for our own good. The reverse is the case today, where the goose that lays the golden egg is killed along with the egg.
