The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators, CNDA, has threatened to resume attacks on oil installations in the region, beginning on September 10, 2017.

The Militants in its shocking message said that: Northerners own over 90% of the oil wells, and that the Yorubas have about 7% of the wells.”

It stated that: ”While the Igbos have about 2% of oil wells, the Niger Delta people do not have up to 1% of the oil wells.”

The group added: “We are not talking only about the notice to quit; we are also talking about the Niger Delta Republic.

We have seen that the Federal Government is not serious about the Niger Delta issue. Let me make a point here; the Academic Staff Union of Universities is on strike, and the government has set up a Committee to engage in a dialogue with ASUU.

“This has never happened in the case of the Niger Delta; the Federal Government has never inaugurated a Committee to handle the Niger Delta issue.

“The only language the Federal Government seems to understand is violence. September 10 is the day we will resume attacks (on oil installations). By September 10, which is on Sunday, over 5,000 members of the Niger Delta Coalition of Agitators will shut down no less than over 20 platforms.”
