While militant group, Niger Delta Avengers continuously destroy oil pipelines, the original Niger Delta militants on Wednesday gave the Federal Government a 2-day ultimatum to release the corpses of 10 pro-Biafra agitators.
Representatives of the militants are leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, Precious Iyoyo, aka General Playboy; and Concerned Militant Leaders, General Ben.
Several members and supporters of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) were on Tuesday killed during a clash with security agencies in Onitsha, Anambra State.
The Niger Delta militants, after an emergency meeting organised by some leaders of various militant groups, released a memo saying, “If Federal Government fails to release them (corpses) by Friday, June 3, 2016, they will hear from us from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Edo States,” the militants said.
The militants said the government should prepatre for war, while vowing to attack security operatives on behalf of the slain pro-Biafrans.
He said, “It is now war between the militants and security men. Since innocent and helpless citizens, especially from South-South and South East, have been marked for extinction, we will defend our people.”
