The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, as responded to the conviction in South Africa of Henry Okah, its former leader, declaring that the development will be the start of the disintegration of Nigeria, and warning of disastrous consequences to befall the federal government and all of its officials since 1999.
The deadly group boasted that they are now more equipped to deal seriously with the Nigerian state, saying they have attained “capabilities which will take the Nigerian Military another 10 years to catch.”
The statement, dated 23 January, and signed by Comrade Azizi, said, “Nigerians as a whole will feel our presence when we finally decide to carry out our targets which will not be restricted to the Niger Delta Region alone,” it warned, stating that MEND has become more sophisticated than the level of mere IED or car bombs.
The statement declared: “We are not on the same program with regional agitators in the north or elsewhere, we will not hide our faces, soon and very soon, Nigerians will get to see the structures (Diaspora and Home) as well as our new states, regional commanders and new National Leader, arresting and killing Henry Okah will change nothing.”
It also offered the following chilling warning: “To the Nigerian Government, you have seen NOTHING, the disintegration of Nigeria will start through us and by us, we are well equipped for this task. We have details of all the family members of the Government (1999-2013) and our Diaspora Command will take care of that aspect, we will get to them, we will skin them and post their remains to your door steps as compensation to the Ode people, except our resources are handed over to us without conditions.”
MEND warned federal government officials to stay away from the Niger Delta, with particular attention to one current official: “The Minister of the Niger Delta Ministry, Mr. Orubebe Peter Godsday, is hereby banished from Delta State and the region at large pending when he returns the money he stole which was meant for the Niger Delta Development Councils.”
“To our Natural Resources, there will soon be a massive earthquake that will be triggered by our nuclear war head, this earthquake will destroy the entire oil wells, oil pipelines especially to Kaduna refinery, oil installations, oil rigs and what have you, when it happens, which we know will be very soon, the Government and those owners of these oil wells and installation will know it’s a different ball game,” the statement warned.
It also warned South African companies operating in Nigeria to “LEAVE NIGERIA totally. There will be massive and aggressive campaign on all companies owned, operated and affiliated to the South African Citizens or their Government both in Nigeria, Western and Southern Africa respectively.”
MEND threatens to make a point!
