UNREPENTANT militants of the Niger Delta have introduced
another seeming curious dimension to the alleged terrorist
attack in Abuja on Friday, October 1, 2010.

The Joint Revolutionary Council (JRC), a network of some
unrepentant insurgents, claimed in an on-line statement to
AkanimoReports on Thursday that former military ruler and a
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant,
General Ibrahim Babangida, was behind the attack.

Spokesperson of the group, Mr. Bakabio Walter, said in the
statement: ''We were approached earlier by agents of IBB to
carry out attacks in the Niger Delta and Abuja to demystify
President Goodluck Jonathan and show that he does not
have the support of his people, but we declined''.

According to them, ''it was because of this that we suspended
our armed campaign this year. We realised that IBB was
going to use our genuine agitation to his own selfish,
unpatriotic and over ambitious advantage''.

''It was when we declined that they approached Henry Okah
who is a mercenary by nature, and they started with the
Warri bomb blasts followed by this October 1, attacks'', they
added.

Continuing, the JRC said, ''for now we can say authoritatively
that Okah heads IBB's terror machine and theirs is more
sophisticated than what they have done so far. Jonathan
beware!

''Recent events in the politics of the Nigerian State further
exposes the ethnic and national contradictions and justify our
agitations for self determination and call for a Sovereign
National Conference of all the nationalities that were
forcefully conscripted into Nigeria. This is the only peaceful
way of getting out of this babarism that is threatening to
create the biggest refugee problem in the world.

''We would like to use this medium to warn Nigeria's dirty
politicians not to drag our region and its genuine struggle
into their muddy water of politics.

''Also, those who are planning to organise a coup de'tat
should know that they would have us to contend with as we
will never allow their authority to extend into our region. We
are watching keenly as the drama unfolds, knowing that after
all this mad dance of macabre we shall meet at the
barricade''.

A text message sent to the spokesperson of the IBB
campaign organisation Kassim Afegbua to react to the story
was not returned.
