– Militants hijack foreign vessel and kidnap its foreign crew.

– Kidnappers demand release of Nnamdi Kanu within 31 days.

– Threaten to kill hostages in 31 days, despite previous demand, if federal government acts too slowly.

A group of supposedly former militants has hijacked a ship off the Bakassi Peninsula coastline and threatened to blow it up along with its foreign crew if the detained Director of Radio Biafra and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu is not released.

The group of hijackers has given the federal government a 31-day ultimatum to release Kanu or deal with a destroyed ship and murdered crew.

The militants said they enjoy the support of local residents and of pro-Biafra agitators in the area.The group’s spokesman, identified only as General Ben, even said the militants might not wait for the expiration of the 31-day ultimatum to carry out their murderous threat.

“We cannot wait till the end of the 31 days to tell the federal government that we are serious. The vessel and the crew are in our custody.

“Any noise, any delay from government, we will blow up everything. We will blow the vessel and everybody in the vessel will go down,” the so-called general said.

“We are not interested in the country that owns the vessel. What we know is that the vessel was coming to Nigeria to lift oil. We are not interested, once it is blown up, let the country and Nigeria resolve the matter.”

The supposedly retired militant said his group remains well informed about Kanu’s detention and condemned the courts for denying him bail based on his dual nationality.

“This is provocative; hence we did not waste time to go into action. We are in support of the Biafra struggle.

“We will not retreat or surrender. The federal government might have taken our ultimatum as an empty threat. But, we will surprise them

Hypocrite. You were uncomfortable with him calling the multi-tribal region (ijaws, ishekiri, etc) nigerdeltans, yet you guys are so aggressive in annexing the whole region as biafra.

Having few igbos in the nigerdelta doesn't negate their rights to be identified as nigerdeltans. Same way the ijaws in Ondo do NOT whine when the yorubas classify Ondo as a southwest state or Odua region.

See as u re praying 4 d failure of ur con3 jus because d president is a northernan! Let me tell u, d moment those militants kill those foreigners, they ve indirectly given the president the international ticket to go after them not minding who is brought down in d process! Although, I doubt the news but if its tru PMB will be praying for the militants to kill foreigners! Then they will be declared as TERRORIST!

I kknow you know that Igbos in the Niger Delta are not a minority, don't you?

No sir.

Sunnybobo3:


No sir.

So why re u bothered about d ND not being a tribe? We re ok with the multiple tribes in d ND!

Sunnybobo3:

HaaAa!!!!. So the Igbos are now majority in South South. He-he-he-he, I guess we learn everyday

Well, since you guys are majority in SS, you could have appropriately claimed that SS belongs to you/igbos.

Name 3 tribes in the Nigerdelta that are more populous than the Igbo tribe in the Niger Delta?

They probably thought they are dealing with a civilian president. When the military retaliate, they are quick to shout blue-murder. The shite incident was condemnable in every light, but those dudes had it coming. You don't run a government within a government.

This simple logical correlation may give these people some perspectives; " if a northern president in Buhari didn't spare his fellow kinsmen involved in the shite incident (including several innocents ones), don't expect him to hold back in using every military might needed to address the insurgency in SS" unfortunately, it would be a lose-lose-lose situation. The innocent host communities would be ravaged. The militants would ultimately lose out as well, as they would eventually be maimed. And lastly, the FG, although would crush the militants, but would have also have lost lots of resources and revenues.

What do u mean by populous. What does Population have to do with ownership in the context of historical claims.

These guys from the east, you need to go to school. I keep saying it. Those schools in the east are teaching nonsense and awarding garbage degrees. No doubt your an almunus from one of those osu universities. Imsu, absu or esut.

Stop being half-smart. I did mention the fact that the region is multi-ethnic. Why not list out the population demography of each state in the SS and let's know the population of Igbos per state. If you still hold majority in each of states, may be then, I would start taking you seriously.
As at now, all states in that region are happy being referred to all Nigerdeltans and they should not be cowed into forsaking their own identity by the guests they had magnanimously welcomed into their individual states.

Very funny....see ibos trying to land grab again... ...ibos are dominant in the South East and even though there are a few who migrated due to economic hardship in their land into SS....they remain migrants and not indigenes of those places....

where in dis country have d igbos not populated, so populating everywhere means they are indigen as they claim 2 be. Greedy people. Nigerians are watchin.

That is one attitude "some" Igbos still need to address. They go into a foreign land and they are happily received and welcomed to do business. The next thing, they start to disrespect and disregard local values of their host communities. Afterwards, they want to rule and dominate their amazing hosts. Then, they tell you that -- your papa land " is a nobody's land", an arrant nonsense you can pull in any Igbo land. Several years down the line, they start claiming ownership.

How difficult is it to just come in, do your business peacefully and live respectfully with your host communities.

It is simple, 'pikin wey say he mama no go sleep, he too no go sleep'. Although d story isn't tru but those fanning d flames of insurgency actually think that our military is overburdened due to BH crisis! There they re wrong because an average soldier wud prefer to face militants than a terrorist who thinks he will be admitted to paradise when he is killed in battle!
