Militants Vow To Attack More Oil Facilities Over Tompolo by akelicious(m): 8:16am On Nov 20, 2016
Niger Delta militants on Saturday vowed to blow up more oil facilities in the region if the Federal Government fail to drop the charges against a former militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission declared Tompolo wanted in February over an alleged N45.9bn fraud and charged him to court in absentia.
The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, General Playboy, urged the Federal Government to leave Tompolo and any indigene from the oil-rich region alone.The militant leader, in an email, decried the raid of Gbaramatu Kingdom by soldiers, adding that soldiers never raided communities in the North in search of Boko Haram members.
He also said the government must apologise to Tompolo over the death of his (Tompolo) father.
He said, “You (Federal Government) are coming to Gbaramatu Kingdom in search of militants; how many communities in the North-East have you raided in search of Boko Haram?
“We have said it before now that we will not stop bombing until the Federal Government drops charges against Tompolo and any indigene of Niger Delta, and apologise to Tompolo over the death of his father, who soldiers have killed.
“Let me use this medium to warn the Federal Government that if anything should happen to former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, President Muhammadu (Buhari) will see our true colours.”
General Playboy also said there was a need for government to begin the clean-up of Ogoniland and other parts of the Niger Delta region before December 1, 2016.
“We urge that Ogoni cleansing should be handled by Niger Delta indigenous companies. It is painful that our Niger Delta states cannot pay salaries while Lagos State can pay. Why should Lagos State be richer than Delta State if not for the neglect?
“We are urging all Niger Delta governors to come together and let us fight because we need development in our land. All our states should have a tourist attraction like the Obudu cattle ranch,” the militant leader added.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army has pledged to end attacks on oil facilities in the region, stressing that it would not watch criminals destroy the nation’s major assets.
The army disclosed that the need to provide security for the nation’s critical infrastructure in the Niger Delta region led to the creation of the 6 Division covering four states in the area; Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states.

Militants..Militants....Militants......!!!You're fighting a just course but why not in a better way other blowing up pipelines.Lagos is developing everyday because their youths are not destroying properties rather creating channels for the state to benefit through revenues in the movie & music industry, making the state a peace place to live in.Start making Niger Delta a peaceful place to live & run businesses & b/4 you know it, investors will move in masses to do business.Now, you cannot boost of 5 major oil companies operating in warri that have their head office in warri because of kidnapping & bombings.Stop d violent & embrace development.

They are only compounding the problems of Tompolo and indicting Jonathan and his wife. Why can't these mili-whatever think smartly?

These boys are really stupid o. When will they realize that whether there is bombing of oil wells, government oil facilities or not oil is still being channeled and stored in the NORTH. Violence will only make Niger Delta loss more.
