A Niger Delta militant group, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDGJM, has incited fear and panic in residents around major oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta region.
The militant group warned such residents to vacate their homes as it made its intention of blowing up the major oil facilities in the area.
The disclosure was made in a statement released by the group’ spokesman, Aldo Agbalaja. The group in its statement revealed that all marked oil installations in area have been armed with dangerous explosives which has been located at strategic points for maximum impact.
The group further stated that it will delay the detonation of the explosives in order to allow residents of the area comply with its warning to evacuate their homes.
The group’s statement reads: “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.”
