A coalition of Niger Delta militants, have on Wednesday night, threatened to blow up Multichoice, owner of DSTV, MTN, Shoprite, and 16 other major South African investments in Nigeria, if the Federal Government failed to shut them down within one month.
The group also gave one month ultimatum to South Africans living in Nigeria, to leave the country en masse.
This came in reaction to the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and their business premises, in South Africa.
The threat is contained in a copy of a letter addressed to the Office of the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, and signed by ‘General’ John Duku (Niger Delta Watchdogs); ‘General’ Ekpo Ekpo (Niger Delta Volunteer); and ‘General’ Hart Bradford (Niger Delta Strike Force).
Apart from MTN, DSTV, and Shoprite, some of the South African companies in Nigeria listed for attack by the militants are: Eskom Nigeria, South African Breweries (SAB Miller), Umgeni Water, Refresh Product, LTA Construction and Protea Hotels.
Others according to the letter are: Critical Rescue International, Global Outdoor Semces, PEP Retail Stores, Woolworths Holdings Limited, Truworths International Limited, Clover Industries, Oracle, Power Giant and Airtime.
The militants added: “Arising from the joint meeting of the Niger Delta Watchdogs, Niger Delta Volunteers and Niger Delta Strike Force, held today (Wednesday) in Port Harcourt, we condemn the recent attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
“We want to state that the recent attacks (on Nigerians in South Africa), will mark the end of this nonsense, because we will not fold our arms and allow this to continue. We therefore, call on the Nigerian Government to immediately close down all the businesses owned by South Africans, in Nigeria.
“Failure to close down these companies within one month, we shall mobilise in full force and commence massive attacks on the above-mentioned South African-owned investments, in Nigeria. We shall also make sure that all MTN masts and offices are brought down to naught.
“We shall strike any property and persons from South Africa within our reach; we will bring down Multichoice (DSTV), Shoprite, and others. We will not fold our arms and watch you (South Africans) slaughter our people like chickens for no just cause.
“We are fully prepared; our professional fighters are already strategising, South Africans must be crushed in Nigeria; our people must be free from these wicked agents.”
The militant groups, pointed out that the one month ultimatum was enough for South Africans to relocate and leave Nigeria, even as they warned Nigerians against patronising South Africans business concerns, on the expiration of the ultimatum to avoid casualties.
“How can you explain a situation where the Police clobbered defenceless Nigerian citizens to death, without any provocation?” the militants asked.
“But our people in South Africa have been unjustly subjected to torture, killings, looting of their belongings, as well as burning down of their business premises/apartments.” they added.
