Another
militant group has emerged! The group has threatened to continue to attack oil
and gas facilities across the Niger Delta region until the Nigerian government
agrees to award 60 per cent oil blocs to the people of the region.
The
Warriors, who made their first public statement on Wednesday also demanded that
the federal government allows the $16 billion Export Processing Zone otherwise
called Delta Gas City project to begin operations in earnest.
It
also gave the government a two-week ultimatum to ensure that their demands were
adequately met for a lasting ceasefire in the region.
Spokesperson
of Ultimate Warrior, as it chose to be addressed, Sibiri Taiowoh, said if the
FG truly wanted peace in the region, it should award 60 per cent oil bloc to
indigenous people from the region as its primary demand for a ceasefire. The
group further asked for commencement of academic activities at the Federal
Maritime University established during the regime of former President, Goodluck
Jonathan.
