NIGER DELTA MILITANTS WARN RESIDENTS TO FLEE HOMES AS EXPLOSIVES HAVE BEEN RIGGED ON OIL INSTALLATIONS

A militant group known as the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDGJM, has warned those around major oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta region to vacate their residence because it intends to blow up these facilities soon.

In a statement by its spokesman, Aldo Agbalaja, the militant group said all marked facilities in the region have been rigged with explosives at strategic points, waiting to be detonated.

According to the group, the detonation was being delayed because of those residing within the environment of the marked facilities.

The statement reads in part, “One more time, we are warning and at the same time appealing to residents around major oil and gas facilities across our region to please evacuate immediately.

“This warning has become necessary because of the fact that we do not wish any of our people, for whom we have taken up this crusade, to become casualties of our campaign.

“All the marked facilities in all the states have been rigged with explosives at strategic points, waiting to be detonated.

“We are only being slowed down because of the presence of those still living close by. This struggle will only cease when the adversarial Nigerian system yields to reason.”
