News Release: MEND Says Commander Obese’s alleged escape Is A Ruse

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D) hereby refers to publications in Nigerian newspapers alleging the escape from prison custody of Tamunotonye Kuna aka Commander Obese and four (4) others.

Information reaching us indicates that these individuals were secretly removed from the prison facility under the orders of President Goodluck Jonathan for possible execution.

In due cause, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) will avenge the summary executions of countless indigenes of the Niger Delta and the genocidal actions of the Nigerian military in Ayakoroma and other communities across the Niger Delta.
