On behalf of the hapless Christian population in
Nigeria, The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D), will
from Friday, May 31, 2013, embark on a crusade to save Christianity in Nigeria
from annihilation.
The bombings of mosques, hajj camps, Islamic
institutions, large congregations in Islamic events and assassinations of
clerics that propagate doctrines of hate, will form the core mission of this
crusade code named “Operation Barbarossa”.
This campaign will not in any way interfere with the
ongoing “Hurricane Exodus” – which on Saturday, April 13, 2013, at about 01:00
Hrs, swept through the Ewellesuo comminity, Nembe, Bayelsa State, leaving the
destruction of well 62, belonging to Shell Petroleum in its wake.
We may only consider a ceasefire of “Operation
Barbarossa” if the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Catholic Church
and Henry Okah, one of the few leaders in the Niger Delta region we respect for
his integrity, intervenes. Also the assurance for a cessation of hostilities
targeted at Christians in their places of worship, made privately or publicly
by the real Boko Haram leadership will make us call off this crusade.
We have no problems with their attacks on security
agencies including the prisons, for their role in extrajudicial killings,
torture, deceit and corruption.
