Amidst of the Heavy presents of
Nigeria military personnel in the region, Niger Delta Justice Defence Group
(NDJDG) has attacked oil pipelines in Bera, Gokana local government area of Rivers
state on early hours of August 4, Thursday. The group revealed about this in a
statement made available to Press.
The NDJDG said that this is in
continuation of their warning to the government of Muhammadu Buhari to
immediately look into their demand and attend to them.
The statement reads: “We are responsible for the vandalization of
oil pipelines in Bera, Gokana local government area of Rivers state last night,
by 1.30am. “Previously we blew up pipelines in Gio-Tai L.G.A and B-Dere in
Gokana L.G.A and issued warning to oil companies to vacate our region and
suspend all oil explorations in the region until our demands are met.
“Till now, the FG is still playing politics with the Ogoni
cleanup while the people continue to suffer every day from environmental
degradation. We will continue our actions until the welfare and plight of our
people are given utmost attention by the Muhamadu Buhari led FG.
“This time around we shall spread our tentacles and expand
the scope of our operation to Onne Wharf in Rivers state and other parts of the
country.”
The NDJDG earlier listed five
demands to the government of President Buhari. The militants asked to be
allowed to control the oil output in the region and to immortalize activists
who died during the struggle for better life for the Niger Delta region among
others.
Earlier today, August 4, the Niger
Delta Avengers, challenged the Nigerian army to share the photos of the killed
militants. The Avengers claimed that Buhari can’t intimidate them.
