NIGER DELTA RED SQUAD ISSUES FRESH THREAT, SAYS NIGERIA WILL BE SHOCKED BY NEXT ATTACK

The Niger Delta Red Squad has sent a threat and
warning across Nigeria and particularly Imo state
government that the next phase of their operation
would take the country and state by storm.
The group warned that their next attack will be
shocking.
The militant group operating from the Ohaji
Egbema axis of the state called out the Brigade
Commander of the 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze in
Imo State, Brigadier-General Kay Ishyaku, who
according to them, made certain comments to
news media across the country.
A post on their Facebook wall reads: “Since the
Brigade Commander of 34 Artillery Brigade,
Obinze, thinks he can talk to media, let him wait
for us at Owerri, we will teach Imo State lessons
they will never forget as soon as our two weeks
cease-fire elapses.”
The group, which earlier said their agitation was
against the inordinate exploitation and
marginalisation of the oil bearing communities in
the state, added “Rochas Okorocha, Army General
Ishyaku and law enforcement agencies should get
ready. We are coming.”
According to a recent terse statement posted on
their Facebook page, “Our two weeks seize-fire is
almost coming to an end, and then we will start full
operations.
“Imo State and Nigeria will be shocked at what we
are going to do in our forthcoming attacks.”
Recall that the group, in an earlier statement last
month, had vowed to cripple the activities of oil
companies operating in their area for allegedly
exploiting the community without living up to their
responsibilities to their hosts.
The statement read, “We shall destroy everything
in Imo State that was built with our oil money.
“Since the creation of Imo State in 1976, neither
Imo State Government nor oil companies have
remembered us, we have been neglected and
abandoned.
“Oil companies started operations in our
community since 1957 but till date, we have
nothing to show as benefit and for the Imo State
government, we will make sure you make no
further gains from Ohaji Egbema.
“No electricity, no tarred roads, no drinking water,
no hospital, no youth employment or
empowerment,” the statement read in part.
