Niger Delta militants threaten to shock Nigeria

Niger Delta militant group announces the end of
cease fire with the Nigerian government
– The group threatens to show Nigeria the deadliest
side of the militancy
The Niger Delta Red Squad has threatened to teach
Nigeria lessons through their next attacks on
government, oil facilities.
The militant group operating from the Ohaji Egbema
axis of Imo state warned the Imo state government of
the ending of their two weeks cease fire, saying that
the next phase of their operation would take the
state by storm.

The group in a statement issued through their
Facebook account alerted that the state and Nigeria
will be shocked by their next attack.
The Squad earlier said their activities were against
the excessive use and marginalisation of the oil
bearing communities in the state.
The statement reads: “ Our two weeks cease 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.”
The militants appeared especially irritated by
comments made to the journalists by the Brigade
Commander of the 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze in Imo
state, Brigadier- General Kay Niger Delta Red Devil
declares Biafra avengers Ishyaku, while they did not
specify the exact statement that got their attention.
“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. Rochas Okorocha and Army
General Ishyaku should get ready. We are coming,”
the group added.


Earlier Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger
Delta has unveiled an ultimatum to the government of
Muhammadu Buhari to commence peace talks or face
consequences.
The Federal government had previously confirmed
that a cease-fire agreement had been reached with
the militant group, which had helped restore oil
output from around one million barrels a day to close
to two million barrels a day.
The attacks have helped support oil prices close to
the $50 a barrel mark in recent weeks, with curbed
supply forcing investors to hope that the oil market
was likely to rebalance in the second half of this
year.
