Breaking news:Militants fulfils promise, blows pipeline in Delta

Within 24 hours of its threat to
bomb oil installations in the Niger Delta region if
the Federal Government did not stop its one-
sided talks with the Ijaw ethnic nationality, the
Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDJM,
Wednesday, blew up a major trunk delivery line in
Delta state.
The trunk line conveying crude from Isoko to the
Eriemu manifold Urhobo nationality belong to
NPDC and Shoreline Resources.
NDJM in a statement, last night, by the
spokesperson, self-styled General Aldo Agbalaja,
said the Central Operational Command of the
group has approved the commencement of
demolition and evacuation of uplands tagged
‘Operation Zero’ to correct the wrongs that have
afflicted our people for years.
The group had, on Tuesday, warned the federal
government to stop siding with the Ijaw
ethnic nationality alone, as it was not the only
tribe in the region that its militants could blow
pipelines.
It said it was out to “seek justice for the
perpetually cheated and protect the identities of
our people, who are co-owners of the wealth,
which Nigeria has forever misappropriated.”
Naijachrome could not confirm the authenticity of
the claim, last night, from industry sources.
However, the group said: “As a mark of our
seriousness and to prove we are people of our
words, at about 02.00hours of today; Wednesday,
August 10, 2016, operatives of the Niger Delta
Greenland Justice Mandate brought down a
major trunk delivery line from Isoko to the Eriemu
Manifold in Urhobo, belonging to the NPDC/
Shoreline Resources”
“We would also want to use this medium to give
a very strong warning to the operatives of the
asset NPDC/Shorelines not to commence repairs
pending when they get signals from us,
otherwise the inevitable may occur to their
personnel, as we have earlier warned them to
begin evacuating the uplands,” it said.
Its words: “This is just a glimpse of what is to
come, there are several assets already penned
down for destruction. This line of action has been
made inevitable by an unjust system, which only
responds to the violent to the detriment of the
peaceful and law abiding.”
