The Supreme Egbesu Liberation Fighters, a group of Niger Delta militants, has threatened to destroy infrastructure in Lagos and Abuja.
In a video posted on Tuesday by Africa Independent Television (AIT), the group accused the federal government of marginalising the region and failing to deliver on the amnesty programme.
Reading from a statement, a masked member of the group said after accepting the amnesty pact, “till date, there are no schools, no potable water, no light, no hospital and access roads for our people to enjoy”.
The group also complained that “no meaningful progress has been made” with the Ogboni clean-up project “because the Nigerian government has decided to place politics against the meaningful development of our people”.
It asked the government to allow the region to manage its resources “the way Zamfara gold mining sector is being handled by their own people”.
“Over the years, the Niger Delta people have made frantic efforts to create an enabling environment… but to our great dismay, the Nigerian government over the years has decided to handle the issues of the Niger Delta with kid gloves. They have betrayed the struggle and have left the people to their fate,” a member of the group read from a statement.
“Rather, what is visible is the presence of military gunboat and the numerous military personnel dispersed to the Niger Delta who are killing, raping, and maiming the innocent people of the region.
“Look at the security surveillance contract taking place in our region through the federal government these agencies in place have decided to shortchange our people. Now in our territorial waters, it is an Israeli company that is providing waterway security which we have competent hands with expert knowledge to manage.
“Don’t worry, because we are coming to destroy all your infrastructure in Abuja and Lagos. As a group committed to giving total liberation to our people, we will destroy the oil facilities both onshore and offshore in no distant time, we will be seen to be crippling the Nigerian economy.”
The group nominated ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, to mediate between it and the federal government.
The threat of attacks by the militants is coming at a time when Nigeria is grappling with banditry, kidnapping and terrorism in various parts of the country.

This thing self. You people are not ready to be governor in Benue state.
1. You people see the TIV people as a enemy. I am quite aware of this, in Benue state university makurdi for instance, I saw hate in the eyes of Idoma students towards the Tiv students for no just reason. One thing about the TIV people I know is they are accommodative if u love and share with them. Outside this, the Tiv man will see u as an enemy too.
What am saying this is that you guys will never get the governorship without support of the TIV people. You guys started the tribalism and it is hurting you guys so so badly and it will take decades for this to be solved with the mindset the Idoma parents have instilled in their children.
Idoma has 5 local governments out of 23 in Benue. 1 Tiv LGA can swallow 2 to 3 Idoma LGA. secondly, you guys even hate the Igede people for no just reason.
The Idoma people are just full of hate and thinks they can climb Benue no 1 seat with that kind of hate. Bro u guys should change una Mindset then maybe we can talk about leading the state.
But the Dubai u are comparing the Nigeria with has northern ideology, they are muslims and u fully know all muslims has the same mindset.
Bro I thought you wanted to prove a point but ended up spewing tribal incitement, this not all about tribe. And trust me tribalism/ethnicity and religion is our main problem in Nigeria and your thinking goes in line with that.
You people all applaud Yar-Adua, a northerner who tried to fix this country if not for death but fails to see that Obasanjo and Jonathan came without making any meaningful impact.
Now just because of Buhari's failure you suddenly feels the north is the problem of Nigeria.
Though am from Benue, middle-belt but I feel that religion and tribalism is the major problem of this country, and before people like you and the extremists who killed for religion and beliefs(i.e fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram) are flushed out of this country, Nigeria is headed for doom
