As the nation’s security agencies battle insecurity occasioned by the activities of Boko Haram in the North, a group, the Niger Delta Liberation Force (NDLF), on Friday, raised the alarm over alleged movement of firearms by suspected adherents of the militant group into some major towns in the South-South.

The NDLF, a body of ex-militants, said the development was part of strategies to extend terrorist campaign to the Niger Delta by launching coordinated attacks on some major towns and villages.

In a press statement  signed by NDLF spokesman, Captain Mark Anthony, the group said: “We want to draw the attention of the people of the South-South region, especially the Niger Delta, that intelligence report had revealed that there is an illegal movement of firearms by persons suspected to be members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, to some major towns and villages in the South-South region as part of the grand plot to attack targeted areas and installations.”

NDLF said the decision to raise the alarm was with a view to alerting security agencies on the development before the sect commences its attack.

The statement, entitled: Security Alert: Illegal Movement of Firearms to South-South Region, read in part, “The intelligence in our possession indicated that the Islamic sect has already deployed fighters to the region who are disguised as cyclists, popularly called okada riders, yam sellers, hawkers, shoemakers (cobblers) and other forms of petty traders, waiting for approval to carry out their heinous crime.

“Some of the targets of attacks by the terrorist group in the Niger Delta include Port-Harcourt, Yenagoa, Warri, Benin, Calabar and some other towns.”

NDLF, however, declared that any move by Boko Haram to extend its violence to the Niger Delta would be resisted, contending that “it is crucial for the religious extremists not to tinker with such “deadly” idea, capable of eliciting “disastrous reaction.”

Several calls made by Sarurday Tribune to the cellphone of the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Mr Chris Olakpe, over the development were not answered at the time of filing this report.
