An email message reaching DailyGlobeWatch a few minutes ago say another militant group operating under the umbrella of Niger Delta Justice Group, (NDJG) has blown up oil pipelines in Bera, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The attack took place in the early hours of Thursday. The group said it fired the warning shot on oil facilities in the region to remind the Buhari-led administration to immediately look into their demand and attend to them.
Below is the statement emailed to our Paris newsroom a while ago:
“We are responsible for the vandalization of oil pipelines in Bera, Gokana local government area of Rivers state last night, by 1.30am.
“Previously we blew up pipelines in Gio-Tai L.G.A and B-Dere in Gokana L.G.A and issued a warning to oil companies to vacate our region and suspend all oil explorations in the region until our demands are met.
“Till now, the FG is still playing politics with the Ogoni cleanup while the people continue to suffer every day from environmental degradation. We will continue our actions until the welfare and plight of our people are given utmost attention by the Muhamadu Buhari led FG.
“Till now, the FG is still playing politics with the Ogoni cleanup while the people continue to suffer every day from environmental degradation. We will continue our actions until the welfare and plight of our people are given utmost attention by the Muhamadu Buhari led FG.
“This time around we shall spread our tentacles and expand the scope of our operation to Onne Wharf in Rivers state and other parts of the country.” The NDJDG earlier listed five demands to the government of President Buhari. The militants asked to be allowed to control the oil output in the region and to immortalize activists who died during the struggle for better life for the Niger Delta region among others.
