Militants in the Niger Delta region of the country have issued a fresh threat to the president, Muhammadu Buhari over the Federal Government’s case against former militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo also known as Tompolo.
The Niger Delta militants who have threatened to increase bombing activities on oil installations in the area warned the federal government to desist from prosecuting the former militant leader along with the former president Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan.
The fresh threat was issued by the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, NDPDF, General Playboy yesterday.
The militant leader demanded that the Buhari-led administration tender an unreserved apology to Tompolo over the death of his father.
He further warned the Buhari against threading the path of prosecuting the former president Goodluck Jonathan and his wife who has been implicated in a string of cases with the nati-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Playboy said: “You (Federal Government) are coming to Gbaramatu Kingdom in search of militants; how many communities in the North-East have you raided in search of Boko Haram?
“We have said it before now that we will not stop bombing until the Federal Government drops charges against Tompolo and any indigene of Niger Delta, and apologise to Tompolo over the death of his father, who soldiers have killed.
“Let me use this medium to warn the Federal Government that if anything should happen to former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, President Muhammadu (Buhari) will see our true colours.”
