The new militant group believed to be operating from the Ohaji Egbema axis of Imo State has threatened to destroy all government assets in the state built with ‘oil money’ from their community, citing neglect and gross marginalisation of their oil bearing communities.

The group, Niger Delta Red Squad, listed the Imo Government House, Imo State Secretariat, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC) buildings among others as assets they have marked for destruction.

In a post signed by one General Don Wannie, the group vowed to cripple the activities of Agip, Shell and Waltersmith oil companies operating in their area for allegedly exploiting the community without living up to their responsibilities to their hosts.

The statement read in part: “Oil companies started operations in our community since 1957 but till date, we have nothing to show as benefit and for the Imo State Government, we will make sure you make no further gains from Ohaji Egbema.” Continuing, he said: “Since God’s creation, neither Imo State Government nor oil companies have remembered us, we have been neglected and abandoned. No electricity, no tarred roads, no drinking water, no hospital, no youth employment or empowerment. We shall destroy everything in Imo State that was built with our oil money.”

The group alleged that Imo State Government and the oil companies are marginalising and denying their community of the derivable benefits from their land. Following recent upsurge in militant activities in some of the oil producing communities in Imo State, social and economic activities have been drastically affected. In the Awarra area, homes and villages have had to be abandoned for safety. Presently, schools, markets, small businesses, farms, churches and social activities have effectively been shut down in the area as lawlessness and anarchy looms.

There is also the potent danger of famine and hunger in the next season as the farming season was largely spent on the run by indigenous farmers, which make up the bulk of the Awarra and Assa communities. In an earlier post on their Facebook page, the group, which had claimed responsibility for blowing up two Shell pipelines, promised to inflict ‘maximum damage’ if Ohaji Egbema communities are not given their due benefits from their oil resource. The group, in a post, further warned Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited of their imminent attack.


In its words, “Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited should get ready to observe our witch play. We will let them know that the security they claim to have is insufficient so they should go and hire more because we are coming to ‘launch’ them any moment from now.” The group, however, asked the Federal Government to immediately redress the situation and not make the mistake of taking them for granted. “If Imo State Government and Nigeria think we are joking, to God, we will ‘shock’ them well,” the post read.

Hehehehehehehehehehe

Destroy Imo government house?... What a joke, These ones are not serious.

If I hear

Hmmm... Grievances everywhere!

Joke.
NDA is the only real militant group. Others are fictional

oboy this one na my maternal people o . but ohaji/Egbema is really under Developed likewise oguta,though fair. but the irony of the whole matter that the duo is the only oil bearing local governments in the state.

MILFangela:
So if the Militants destroys the Imo State Government house and Oil companies, you will automatically start having constant electricity supply

if government has been listening to our cries no one will be talking of bombing of oil facilities. you guys need to stop this talk of violence don't solve problems. no person wakes up and starts carrying arms but the problem is from the government who has refused to hear our cries for ages.

if we bomb those pipelines we will for feel appeased knowing that we have nothing to loose and also knowing that the thieving oil companies will loose their investments.

Abagworo:


Please remove Oguta from your list of under development. Which town is even more developed than Oguta if I may say. Ohaji/Egbema people should stop living in fools paradise and start working towards development instead of waiting for Government to do everything for them. Our only problem in Oguta is power just like much of Nigeria which is a long term issue that will soon be resolved.

After the greenlanders and icelanders abi deygbam and deywell have finished killing and destroying their own people in Awarra they are looking for ways to rope all of us into their backwardness. We are never going to join you people in that rubbish.

how much do you know oguta? I school at futo and I even travelled to oguta yesterday to collect something from my mum cos that's were she resides and work, so I know oguta very well cos I frequent there a lot. having good houses at oguta1( LG HEADQUARTERS) does not mean development. what about the surrounding communities around oguta1? there is neither a single industry nor commercial bank located at oguta so what development are you talking about? the days of john Holt are long gone! bro


And for the records, You are NOT FROM OGUTA

Ok

Militants are increasing every day by day . On this speed they will soon be competing with states that can't even manage their resources.

SEe ?? that's what it is , it is what it is , they are increasing everyday because Buhari has been taking it easy with them , otherwise



and with the arrival of each terrorist group , they deny the previous one and state different agenda


which means that's a demo of what would happen to each of the states in the east if / when they are granted autonomy . but i won't say more , let's wait and see when Buhari will step up his pace and make an example out of them

Please remove Oguta from your list of under development. Which town is even more developed than Oguta if I may say. Ohaji/Egbema people should stop living in fools paradise and start working towards development instead of waiting for Government to do everything for them. Our only problem in Oguta is power just like much of Nigeria which is a long term issue that will soon be resolved.

After the greenlanders and icelanders abi deygbam and deywell have finished killing and destroying their own people in Awarra they are looking for ways to rope all of us into their backwardness. We are never going to join you people in that rubbish.

We did tell Buhari that violence creates militancy but he did not understand.


Boko Haram started after the Army applied deadly violence on their members


IPOB and Militants requested diplomacy but the Army applied deadly violence.


Now, see wat they have caused.


Today, it is pipeline but if not handled properly it will escalate.


Buhari must not respond with violence but diplomacy, as violence will led to UN intervention and disintegration.
