A new militant
group, Niger
Delta Red Squad (NDRS) has emerged in Imo state with threats to bomb
government facilities and oil installations in the state.
The
group’s spokesman, General Don Wannie, alleged
that oil producing communities have nothing to show for years of providing for
the nation.
The
group’s leader also issued a statement saying “Oil companies started operation
in our community since 1957, but up till date, we have nothing to show as
benefit. For Imo State Government, we will make sure you make no further gains
from Ohaji/Egbema.
“Since
God’s creation, neither Imo State Government nor oil companies have remembered
us. We have been neglected and abandoned. No electricity. No tarred roads. No
drinking water. No hospital. No youth employment or empowerment. We shall
destroy everything in Imo State that was built with our oil money
“We
will let them know that the security which they claim to have is insufficient.
So, they should go and hire more because we are coming to launch attack on them
any moment from now.
NDRS
also claimed responsibility for the attack on a Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)facility in
Awarra-Ohaji/Egbema local council area of Imo State.
