Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, Forcados terminal is our latest casualty - Nier Delta Avengers

 
















NIGER Delta Avengers,  the militant group which claimed responsibility for blowing up the  Forcados Terminal Pipeline in Delta State, recently, has served notice  of attacks on more oil installations in the region until the Federal  Government addresses its grievances.  The group vowed: “


 There are many more to follow in the  days and weeks ahead.”  The group, in a statement  obtained in Warri, said that it was prepared  to reduce Nigeria’s daily oil production and supply to zero barrel if  its agitation was ignored.  “The same factor that brought about the Niger Delta arms struggle is  fast resurfacing as the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is poised to  exterminate Niger Delta people for being benevolent enough to allow the  nation’s mono-economy thrive on our oil.  

“We are being oppressed, pushed to the wall on various fronts, which is  why we have picked up the challenge to be the outlaws this government  will have to contend with till daily production of oil is reduced to  zero in the Niger Delta, so government can use the oil from the North to  run Nigeria’s mono-economy.  “We believe that Nigeria can practice true federalism where our  resources will be controlled by us and used for our own good. 

The  reverse is the case today, where the goose that lays the golden egg is  killed along with the egg,” they said.
