News Report: Niger Delta Main Militant Group Threatens To Commence Attacks

The Movement For The Emancipation of Niger Delta(MEND), the main militant group fighting in the oil rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria said this afternoon that it would "soon commence a ferocious attack on the downstream oil sector of the Nigerian oil industry".

The militant group revealed this through an e-mail it sent to chidi opara reports and some other media organizations.

The e-mail which was signed by the group's spokesperson read:  "The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D) will soon commence a ferocious attack on the downstream oil sector of the Nigerian oil industry.

To avert avoidable loss of lives and properties, advance warning for immediate evacuation is hereby issued to residents in close proximity to depots storing petroleum products such as aviation fuel, diesel, kerosene, petrol, propane gas and engine oil.

We cannot guarantee the safety of staff that happens to be in the facility during an attack. We will also be targeting transport vehicles that convey petroleum products.

Anyone who chooses to ignore this warning does so at their own peril.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D) have been following closely the activities of the Nigerian government in the handling of the arrest and detention of our respected brothers and will not sit back and fold our hands to see a government bent on eliminating them for no just course.

 Jomo Gbomo"
