A militant group known as the Niger Delta Liberation Force (NDLF), has advised fellow militants – Niger Delta Avengers – not to fear President Muhammadu Buhari, for he is not God.

The group said it can’t condemn the ‘current bombing’ of pipelines in the Niger Delta because Nigerians were informed that ‘bombing of pipelines was not yet over’ when they accepted the amnesty deal of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

President Buhari was also urged to sack Paul Boroh, coordinator of the presidential amnesty programme because ‘he does not know the boys in the creeks’.

Mark Anthony, spokesman of the group, released a statement, saying: “We do not condemn the current bombing because when we surrendered, we told the world that bombing of pipelines was not over yet. Those bombing pipelines in Delta state should not behave like cowards if they are truly fighting the interest of Niger Delta.”

“They should be bold enough to come out. When we were bombing, our leader General John Togo did not hide his face. We dealt with the Nigerian army, and we were not hiding.”

“They should not hide their identity. Buhari is not God and they should not be scared of him. JTF should not attack and arrest innocent people in Ijaw communies, they should go for the real sabotuers.”

“Although, we had told former President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigerian army cannot protect pipelines in the creek.”

“The current amnesty chairman Paul Boroh does not know the boys in Niger Delta. He is not in touch with Niger Delta major ex-agitators. Buhari should sack him immediately and appoint another chairman like Kingsley Kuku who knows the boys in the creek. This will help the current oil war.”
