A Coalition of Niger Delta Militants, have issued a three months notice to the North, demanding for the return of all oil blocs controlled by Northerners, to the people of the oil-producing region.
The demand is in retaliation to the order issued by the Northern youth organisations to the Igbos in the North, to leave the region by October 1.
Gistlover gathered that the ultimatum has sent panic to the North in general, and the Sultan of Sokoto in particular, who controls about 85 percent oil block in the Niger Delta region.
The Niger Delta Watchdogs, Niger Delta Volunteers, Niger Delta Peoples Fighters, Niger Delta Warriors, Bakassi Freedom Fighters, Niger Delta Movement for Justice, Niger Delta Fighters Network, and Niger Delta Freedom Mandate, made this known in a joint statement, on Saturday.
The group threatened to kill Northerners, and also intend to declare an independent Niger Delta on October 1, with a view to freeing their people from what they called Northern enslavement.
The communiqué was signed by ‘General’ John Duku (Niger Delta Watchdogs and Convener: Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators), ‘General’ Ekpo Ekpo (Niger Delta Volunteers), ‘General’ Osarolor Nedam (Niger Delta Warriors), and ‘Major-Gen.’ Henry Okon Etete (Niger Delta Peoples Fighters).
Others are: ‘Major-Gen.’ Asukwo Henshaw (Bakassi Freedom Fighters), ‘Major-Gen.’ Ibinabo Horsfall (Niger Delta Movement for Justice), ‘Major-Gen.’ Duke Emmanson (Niger Delta Fighters Network), and ‘Major-Gen.’ Inibeghe Adams (Niger Delta Freedom Mandate).
They warned all the companies operating such oil blocs to quit within three months.
“A coalition of the Niger Delta Militants met today, in Port Harcourt, to review the recent call by the Arewa Youths groups that the Ndigbo should vacate all the Northern States, within three months.
“We see the declaration by Arewa Youths as a declaration which the Northern elders, leaders, political elite, security heads from the North and Governors, were fully aware of”.
