MEND Resumes Hostilities, Kills 13 Policemen In Bayelsa

By Emmanuel Uzodinma on April 7, 2013

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, on Friday night made real its threat of resuming hostilities by killing 13 policemen in reaction to the sentencing of its leader, Henry Okah by a South African Court.

Okah was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment by a South African court over the October 1, 2010 bombing.

Although, it was still unclear the major reason behind the brutality in Bayelsa, it was gathered that heavily armed militants killed the twelve policemen along the waterways of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.

Sources put the death toll at 13 while others said 12.

The policemen drawn from the security pool of the Bayelsa State Government House and the state Police Command were on a special duty to Azuzuama in Southern Ijaw local government area where an aide to the state Governor, Mr Kile Selky Torughedi, was burying his mother, when they were ambushed.

Torughedi was recently appointed a Senior Special Adviser to Governor Henry Seriake Dickson on Marine Waterways Security, as part of the State government’s efforts to curb the spate of pirate attacks in the riverine area of the state.

It was learnt that 15 policemen were in the boat providing escort to dignitaries attending the burial when their boat suddenly developed a fault and while they were trying to fix it, a speedboat conveying some armed men opened fire at them killing 13 of them on the spot while the other two jumped into the river.

This is a welcomed development. Okah can't be serving jail terms while boko haram gets amnesty.

.... for those who say MEND is incapable of making real their threats.




I always tell people never underestimate any threat even if its coming from a kid! For someone to threaten you, he got something that will make at least, sweat!!

What of Charles Okah who is wasting away in Abuja prison, what offense did he commit?

I pity GEJ because Niger Delta will be a danger zone for him when he leaves office.

Let the SS people continue to embrace violence,The rest of us need not worry it will consume them all.Lets see how dumbarse GEJ will tackle this maybe he will grant a 2nd armnesty to Okah.
The ploy by SS leaders to keep running private armies and arming youths will lead to nothng but self implosion in the SS.Please dont let me hear anythng abt say it will affect the economy thru their oil.I dont give a hoot,the SW is ready to live without their oil.

Information from a reliable source, have it dat, Henry Okah is a treat to the Nigerian Government, especially when President Johanthan resumed office, he was kind of setup by the governement of Johnathan, and the government of Nigerian was said to have influence the judegement @ South African, that sentenced Okah to 14 years in jail.
