A
new militant group has emerged under the aegis of Niger Delta Red Squad, NDRS.
The group is threatening to attack some government and oil facilities in Imo
State.
This
comes barely few days after it hit a facility operated by Shell Petroleum
Development Company in Awarra, Ohaji/Egbema local council area of Imo State.
In
the current threat, which was signed by one General Don Wannie, the group fumed
that oil producing communities had nothing to show for the many years of oil
exploration and exploitation.
It
warned, “Oil companies started operation in our community since 1957, but up
till date, we have nothing to show as benefit. For Imo State Government, we
will make sure you make no further gains from Ohaji/Egbema.
“Since
God’s creation, neither Imo State Government nor oil companies have remembered
us. We have been neglected and abandoned. No electricity. No tarred roads. No
drinking water. No hospital. No youth employment or empowerment. We shall
destroy everything in Imo State that was built with our oil money”.
The
group equally warned Waltersmith Petroleum Oil Limited of an imminent attack on
the company’s facilities.
“We
will let them know that the security which they claim to have is insufficient.
So, they should go and hire more because we are coming to launch attack on them
any moment from now”, the group said.
The
group further warned that if the federal and state governments think “we are
joking, we will shock them.”
