MEND Threatens To Resume Attacks In Niger Delta On Friday


The militant group is angered by the jailing of Henry Okah in South Africa.

There was palpable tension in many parts of the Niger Delta as speculations became rife on Wednesday that a militant group in the region, the Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, could resume attacks in the country on Friday.

Media reports quote MEND as saying in a statement signed by its spokesman, Gbomo Jomo, that it would commence a series of attacks in the country, code named “Hurricane Exodus”, at midnight on Friday.

The statement describes the planned attacks as “a direct repercussion of a forged threat letter contrived by the Nigerian and South African governments purporting to have originated from MEND”.

“The attacks will commence 00:00 Hrs, Friday 05, April 2013 and will be sustained until an unreserved apology is offered to MEND and the Nigerian government shows their willingness to dialogue,” Gbomo is reported to have said in the statement.

MEND said the fake threat letter was used as evidence against their leader, Henry Okah, who was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment by a South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Shortly after Justice Neels Claaseen of the South Guateng High Court in South Africa sentenced Henry Okah to 24 years in prison for his alleged role in the October 1, 2010 bombing incident in Abuja, the group had issued a statement rejecting the sentence.

In the statement signed by “Comrade Azizi,” MEND described the sentence as “the height of injustice to our region and people, which will be resisted by all means necessary.”

Mr. Okah, as leader of MEND, was found guilty of masterminding the October 1, 2010 bombing in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, and an earlier one in Delta State.

What sought of prayer is tha? By the way, let me ask you how have you contributed to the developmant of this country rather than to complain and give unreasonable excuses. Now I see that with people like you in this country, it cannot progress.mschew

It is brewing

Too much money in their hands = much toolz. hmm....GIOS(GodIsOurStrength)

Nigeria is in dire need of quality leadership. The problems are too complex for Gej to even comprehend.... I do not envy the position he finds himself by sheer luck. Nigeria is ripe for a nationalistic leader as Adolf Hitler.

I'm from the Niger Delta but these guys are useless bastar*ds,
Right from time I always felt that amnesty thing was an exercise in foolishness, rewarding criminals.
They should be crushed with no mercy!

Please this administration has had a lot to contend with lately they shouldn't compound it with their troubles. There's no alternative to peaceful dialogue.

solomon111: I hope they do it.
This country needs to divide.

u mean we should be segregated like north korea and south korea so that the world power can use us play chess game like they are doin to the korean sisters.bro abeg take back your words.division is never a solution.

There Target is MTN installations. It's owned by south africa or sum1 from south africa.
Those saying they were given amnesty, JOMO GBOMO never embraced the Presidential Amnesty and those sayin GEJ gav 'em amnesty. Shebi bro Jonah was a vice presido to that Awusa man. And naa the awusa man giv dem amnesty.

Atleast MEND is sensible, they state their demands and reasons for carrying out their attacks unlike the HOKO BARAM

TheY want higher amnesty package while BH want anything to start with, at least no state Govt will arrest them like those unemployed grads from the South South. If anything they get released on time for bombing innocent people while the innocent people get jail time for being too soft.

Sese them see them, them don come back again

The killers are back.

Na mouth dem dey. If dem try demsef for creeks wen dy Niger Delta e go over dem.
