One of the Niger Delta militant groups have defied the
ceasefire agreement with the Federal Government with
another attack on oil facility in the South-south region.
Despite the ongoing military “Operation Crocodile Smile” in
the Niger Delta region, an Urhobo militant group, Niger Delta
Greenland Justice Movement, NDGJM, in the early hours of
today, blew up the Ogor-Oteri major delivery line, operated
by the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company and
Shorelines Petroleum in the state.
This has been deemed a mockery of the ongoing peaceful
negotiations in the restive region with the Movement of the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND leading the cause
has carried some influential Nigerians along.
The group in a statement by its leader self-styled “Gen” Aldo
Agbalaja, claimed responsibility for the attack executed by
its Uproot Team B at about 3.00 hours. The group also
announced the launch of “Operation Crocodile Tears” since
the military had launched “Operation Crocodile Smile” to
supposedly worsen the Niger Delta crisis.
“With the launch of their ‘Operation Crocodile Smile’, the Niger
Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is also serving a notice on the
commencement of our ‘Operation Crocodile Tears.’ It shall from
now on be an eye for an eye; for every military atrocity carried
out in the creeks and hinterland of the Niger Delta, the Nigerian
armed forces will have the Niger Delta Greenland Justice
Mandate to contend with
“To this end, we are alerting all those working in the UQCC/UPS
Erhomukokwarien in Ughelli, Eriemu Pigging Manifold in
Agbarha, Otorogun Gas Plant, Olomoro Flow Station, Warri
Refinery, Port Harcourt Refinery, Eleme, OB-OB and Obite gas
plants in Omoku to evacuate because what is coming to those
facilities are beyond what anybody has seen before,” the
statement read in part.
In view of this, hostilities in the Niger Delta region seem far
from over as the daily crude oil production falls drastically
to further complicate the worsening economy of Nigeria
under President Muhammadu Buhari.
