In an e-mail to the media, Jomo Gbomo, a pseudonym, said: "We hereby repeat our warnings to the residents of Abuja, the heart of the country and to all persons who will be interested in attending the political [presidential campaign] organised by the president Goodluck Jonathan."

Nigeria president Jonathan, who stepped in after the death of his predecessor Umaru Yar'adua, is a candidate for presidential elections due January 2011.

Gbomo Friday threatened a new bombing in Abuja over the arrest of MEND's alleged leader, Henry Okah, in South Africa, but no attack appears to have taken place since.

Okah, ex-leader of MEND, was arrested a few weeks ago in Johannesburg, a day after twin car bombings in Nigeria's capital Abuja killed 12 people. Okah has denied any involvement in the car bombings, according to his lawyers.

Key MEND commanders have accepted the amnesty, but some fighters refused to lay down arms, saying the deal was a "charade" that failed to address the key issues of under-development and injustice in the delta.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has issued a new alert requesting stoppage to all forms of media enquiries to it as a result of what it described as "security concerns". MEND also repeated its warnings to Abuja residents not to attend President Jonathan's political gatherings.

The statement appeared hurriedly written but it came from MEND's traditional e-mail address.

See full text of press release issued by "Jomo Gbomo":

Out of security concerns,the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta MEND until further notice will no longer entertain any enquires.Henceforth,we will release to the media only warnings and statements of claim.

We hereby repeat our warnings to the residents of Abuja,the heart of the country and to all persons who will be interested in attending the political campaign organised by the president Goodluck Jonathan. This is due to the split he has initiated in our country that had enjoyed a united front politically, and the corruption and split in the Niger Delta community.


Lastly,the arrest and detention of our respected brothers of the land and the assassination of their character has become a great concern that cannot be ignored.

Jomo Gbomo.

Once upon a time Bro Goodluck was advised to criticise all forms of political violence, he refused because he was not the target then.

Now the chicken has come home to roost, lets see how he responds.

If you are Jomo Gbomo and you give your password to another person, he can make a post on your hehalf and in your name. Jomo Gbomo's password was not arrested.

Jomo Gbomo.

Now we can see their original motivation. It has nothing to do with celebrating independence.

Heard in d news today that Henry Okah's wife wrote a letter 2 d govt in which she claimed that HENRY OKAH is the same person presenting himself as JOMO GBOMO.Eventhough, d claim was refuted by Okah but am begining 2 dat it could b true.

Some on NL has more than two Username.

Yet they ask how come the arrested man still sends mail.

Some call themselves Big fool, some Ferarity,

But these are not their real name.

I can Use my real name and E-mail for legitimate things, While I opened another like JOMO GBOMO for crimes.

The name may not really exist, but used by criminals for deciet.

I think Kita kita could explain to them more.

Hehe, i don't sense threat in the new mail. . . i sense someone in a tensed state!

I'd say the government should increase the heat. . .arrest Okah's close buddies and whoever he has spoken to in the last two months!

Hehe. . common guys, anyone can log on to the internet and call himself Jomo Gbomo, even you!

Jomo-gbomo:

Hehe. . common guys, anyone can log on to the internet and call himself Jomo Gbomo, even you!

which is why you should advise your President to stop chasing a ghost and concentrate on building Nigeria

At the rate he is going they will soon arrest a batalion of people in the name of hunting down Jomo gbomo.

Krendo

Your brain needs some RAM.

I will blow up Nairaland in couple of days to prove to you that MEND is behind the attacks

My friend get your facts right. The govt is looking for all those responsible for the bomb  attacks not just Jomo Gbomo.

Heard in d news today that Henry Okah's wife wrote a letter 2 d govt in which she claimed that HENRY OKAH is the same person presenting himself as JOMO GBOMO

does this mean his wife is bailing out?

story dey oh.

seems like she might have been living in intimidation and fear before and only just now feels free to speak out.

they will soon alledge she didnt write the letter.

krendo:

Buy some cloths to cover your dry b.o-o.bs, boys don't wanna see it.

speak for yourself alone please!

Jomo-gbomo:

speak for yourself alone please!

I wont mind pouring my c.u.m there btw

@ topic

it's quite obvious jomo gbomo's persona is being based on the character of dedan kimathi the kenyan.

the modus operandi is also the same- forced or voluntary initiations at shrines, coercion, intimidation of the local populace, secret societies, forced allegiance to a guerilla/militaristic agenda based on tribal affiliation, etc etc.


too much foreign interference in nigeria from all over, seriously.

this stuff has gotten way out of contol.

it's also quite obvious the agents of confusion have infiltrated quite deeply.

I think she is cute

Only God kow how much u dey pay the boy wey dey carry you go chop turkey.

All of the ex-militant leaders have come out,Okah is caught and in the hands of the authorities, and there is no more militants in the creeks anymore. GJ, a niger-delta indigene is going for presidency buy "MEND" is against him from reaching that goal so they are threating to bomb key presidential events, hmmmm. Doesn't make sense to me. No more attacks of oil facilities but arent they the ones drailing the oil from the ND?. Why would they make such a move that would help them get what theyv'e been crying for. I know why "BECAUSE ITS NOT MEND, JOMO GBOMO IS NO MORE". This is the works of desperate northerners.

Because MEND's agenda was never about Niger-Delta development. It was always about their pockets and Goodluck paid some and left some out.

The ones that were not paid are fighting.

Louis Thoru

don't ever in your life begin the abuse of anyone on this site again!!!!!!!!

Be a gentleman, leave the lady alone. She has had enough from you already.

kITA TITA:

If you are Jomo Gbomo and you give your password to another person, he can make a post on your hehalf and in your name. Jomo Gbomo's password was not arrested.

Next the government is arresting, they should call the person "suspected to be Jomo Gbomo" for example. Instead of saying they have arrested Jomo Gbomo.

Am clearly not interested in being a gentleman for ladies who have no respect for themselves

she goes from thread to thread abusing anyone who does not share her views

i love this man

He is not chasing ghost because at the time when the real MEND was formed . . . henry okah was the one in charge of public relations (email ). So all the other mend members do not know him except henry okah. It could be him or a team of people managing the email correspondence with the media as jomo gbomo is a pseudonym .  

When all these are analyzed clearly then we can rightly conclude that these resent war is not  about the Niger-Delta but opposition to goodlucks presidency.
