Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, claim its Elite Strike Team 03
yesterday at about 11.45pm, struck Nembe 1, 2 and 3 truck line operated
by Agip, Oando and Shell with supply capacity of 300,000 barrel per day
to Bonny export terminal in Bayelsa State.
A statement released on the group's website reads in part" This attack is in response to the so-called
"Operations Sharkbite" an art of terrorism commissioned by the tyranny
of the Nigerian Navy establishment and orchestrated by some elements of
the ruling political class to continuously undermine any effort by the
Nigerian state to addressing the legitimate demands of the people of the
Niger Delta and as well a conspiracy to bloat the accounts of some
security contractors and conflict merchants within the party structure
of the APC.
We are only reiterating our strong resolve that, time is running against
the Nigerian government, that there is doom ahead. The Nigerian
government need our cooperation more than we need the government as it
concerns the extraction of the crude oil and hydrocarbon resources in
our God-given land. We are determined to continue this war by all means
necessary, until that environment prevails for a genuine dialogue and
negotiations within the framework of the sixteen point key demands
presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by PANDEF on the 1st of November
2016.
We want the peace with honour, we don't want the Peace of Our Time.
Since that moment military was drafted into the Niger Delta as an
instrument of suppression to our fatherland against all peaceful protest
and legitimate demands the fear had gone. The message is getting
stronger with more messengers".
