Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, yesterday, claimed responsibility for the Azuzuama attack in the creek of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, during which it said 15 policemen were killed.

The Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kins Omire, had on Saturday said 12 of his men, two Inspectors, four non-commissioned officers and six constables were missing.

According to a statement by MEND, through its Spokesman, Gbomo Jomo, 15 policemen were killed, and also two of MEND’s fighters, in the shootout. MEND said the attack was to show the Nigerian security forces that dismissed its earlier threat, Hurricane Exodus, as an empty threat what the group can do.

“For dismissing Hurricane Exodus as an empty threat, by the Nigerian security forces, heavily armed fighters from MEND at 17:00 hrs, Saturday, April 6, intercepted and engaged government security forces in a fierce gunfight lasting over 40 minutes at Azuzama, Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.


“The clash, which happened on the river, left over 15 security forces dead as we also lost two of our fighters in the battle.
“We hope this encounter will serve as a lesson to Joint Task Force, JTF, from making careless utterances that cannot be backed as we remain resolute in our resumption of hostilities.”

MEND therefore advised oil companies and the public to ignore the false sense of security being peddled by JTF as well as the false comments from a “Comrade Azizi,” who claims to be the spokesman for the group.

“This person is not known to MEND, does not speak for MEND and his utterances and style do not reflect our plans and actions,” the statement said.

The security operatives are still searching for the remains of the slain policemen in the creeks.

“We are hoping that if any of them is alive, we will rescue him and those that are dead will be recovered, as search and rescue operations are ongoing. We have also deployed divers to the waters,” Bayelsa State Police Commissioner said.

Afritop: MOST NIGERIANS ARE IGNORANT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SPEED LIMITS. ONCE THEY ARE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHAT COMES TO THEIR MIND IS "I MUST GET THERE ON TIME".IT IS A DANGER FOR A PEDESTRIAN TO STROLL CROSS OUR EXPRESSWAYS THINKING THAT WE HAVE LEARNT OUR LESSONS. IT IS HIGHTIME WE STARTED PUTTING SPEED BUMPS ON THE EXPRESS AND DESIGNATING ROAD PATH FOR FUEL TANKERS

I will NEVER allow any of my children to use left hand, you can compare left hand with right, right is always stronger than left according to those.

soulfood: The text bolded by you was an extract from Mr Charlie Boy's article. You are only reiterating what I wrote below it.

kennydee05: Many Nigeria youth did not even know the meaning of NSCDC
Hmmm!!!! It reminds me of my days in NYSC camp when a girl contesting for beauty pageant was asked to mention 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria. Funny enough the girl stated Lagos as a geo-political zone and corps members busted into laugh.....

mention 6 geo-political zones or mention the 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria?

Br3nd4: of cos i do! Ure that mairuwa i saw this mornin!!

chucky234: You are the one ignorant here,the didn't say Mr. Shem didn't know his organisation website therefore shouldn't be castigated but rather he said the fact Mr. Shem goofed showed that the entire system is a failure filled with incompetent people who knows nothing about their organisations,he also demanded that dumb goons like you should have seized the opportunity to fight our leaders who in the name of "who know man" employs incompetent people to occupy such vital positions while the competent ones lies idle and rot at home.
Let me come down to primary where I think you belong,what Charly was trying to say in summary is that the fight is beyond Mr. Shem,we should use social media to fight our leaders and rid our systems off dumb and incompetent people.

Its either you have problem understanding written texts or you have never come across set of words called IDIOMATIC expressions.

~Bluetooth:
Ignorance is worse than illiteracy.Nobody is interested if the guy doesn't know his organisation's website but trying to manouevre his way instead of accepting he doesn't know is the embarrassing issue here. Smdh

anonimi: Do you think that intelligence work is rice & beans or what
How many years after 9/11 before Osama was killed?
You are obviously not aware that Al Qaeda is still operating even in America and bombing cells are uncovered every now & then after painstaking, careful intelligence gathering work.
BTW, how many times have you reported suspicious activities to the police in your life
How security concsious are you?
Can you even recognise suspicious activity
Do you know what your neighbour does for a living?
etc etc etc?
