The Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF has in defiance to the order of the president, Muhammadu Buhari declared it will continue the bombings and attacks on pipelines in the Niger Delta.
The group stated in a statement released yesterday that Buhari “is not God to be feared”.
In the statement released by the Spokesman of the group, Mark Anthony, the group maintained that the entire Nigerian Army could not protect all pipelines in the Niger Delta region.
The statement stated that: “We have not condemned the current bombing because when we surrendered, we told the world that bombing of pipelines was not over yet.
“Those bombing pipelines in Delta State should not behave like cowards if they are truly fighting the interest of Niger Delta. They should be bold enough to come out. When we were bombing, our leader General John Togo did not hide his face. We dealt with the Nigerian Army, and we were not hiding.”
The NDLF added that: “They should not hide their identity. Buhari is not God and they should not be scared of him. JTF should not attack and arrest innocent people in Ijaw communities; they should go for the real saboteurs.
“We told former President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigerian Army couldn’t protect pipelines in the creek. The current Amnesty Chairman Paul Boroh does not know the boys in Niger Delta. He is not in touch with Niger Delta major ex-agitators. Buhari should sack him immediately and appoint another chairman like Kingsley Kuku, who knows the boys in the creek. This will help the current oil war,”
