UGHELLI—AN Urhobo militant group, Urhobo Gbagbako, yesterday, claimed responsibility for two explosions that rocked two major gas trunklines belonging to the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, located on the boundaries of Afiesere and Ekredjebo communities and Otedo and Edjovwe communities both in Ughelli North and Ughelli South Local Government Areas of Delta State.

Urhobo Gbagbako, in a statement by its spokesperson, Priest Omodjuvwu, said that the explosions were in protest against those he called “traitors” the NPDC had continued to send to Urhoboland in a bid to manipulate their unsuspecting and once peaceful communities.
He said: “These petty crumb eaters can only cause pains to the NPDC, Shoreline and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, in a promised sham settlement to the lingering crises to these companies and government agencies.
“In believing the empty promises of these evil doers and traitors, you continue to slowly drive your NPDC, NNPC and Shoreline into a certain abyss you will never recover from and we the Urhobo nation will continue to demand for our fair share of the pipeline surveillance contract jobs for the sake of equity and justice.

“We, Urhobo Gbagbako, a militia group of all ex-militants, youths, women and elders of Urhobo ethnic nationality, did not and have not given any individual or group, authority to speak on our behalf on any issue as it concerns the pipeline surveillance contract job.”

Confirming the incident, President General of Afiesere community, Mr. Emmanuel Shikaleke, said: “I was called by officials of NPDC, who had earlier come to assess the level of damage on the trunklines by the actions of the boys.

“For now, there is nothing we can do other leave the matter for the authorities to handle. As I speak with you, men of the Nigerian Army are at the scene to forestall further attack.”

All in my country.
Just when you think you have heard it all....

we are our own enemies

Let the lazy dolts continue. It will soon dawn on them that we are in a new dawn!

"New dawn"...

I thought their brother gave them the contract to secure this same pipelines before the elections?? Well it's just few weeks to go and you all would be given a "bloody nose" treatment

This dude above wont stop amazing me with the way he reason like a nursery sch pupil

Oyel money

Lazy asses...

Edygrin:
Do they beg you for food?

Dude, I wonder the kind of benefit they are cowardly seeking for.

Whatever be the case, why not write thru the appropriate channels?

Publish those request in two/three national newspapers?

Or go through the senators or rep. members representing them?

Why not a peaceful protest?
-------------------------------------------------

For the record, make una no feel too important, Kogi my state alone is blessed with 30 mineral resources, we no go the cement factory go blow things up, neither did we go to disrupt the minute activities of the Steel company...

We should help ourselves by hustling thru business with innovative ideas on how to climb no matter how small instead of causing the government lots of resources to fix the destroyed properties.

What did they achieve after destroying it?

They re high on ambiguity.

Its time for the people of the Niger Delta to come together and demand that all resources inherent in their lands and environments be controlled only by them.

I don't support the destruction of infrastructure and other violent acts.

Niger Deltans have had enough. It is unfair that their resources are being commercialized and used to run an inefficient and useless entity like Nigeria.

Enough is Enough.

We warned the Nation.

, i feel sorry for buhari sometimes cos it won't be easy. .

Yes let them continue i want this country to be divided

We don't need that now. But y demand for a peanut when u can have better. Surveillance contract to guide channels that they use in milking ur zone.

Boko haram was created in the north to destroy the good work of GEJ, so if militans are now destroying pipes in the south-south what do u call that man I call this fair share

it's either you are typing this in your well furnished and air conditioned office or somewhere in either Lekki or Abuja. If you really mean it, go to the street and mobilise your people and not giving faceless internet-support here

Fair share The way you reason sometimes baffles me alot. If they want to continue blowing up pipeline then they should stop paying them the amnesty funds and same way boko haram was tackled should be melted on them, then we would know its fair share... Grow up and see beyond politics. We all want a Nigeria we could come back to and be proud of our country.

Misplaced anger or lack of knowledge or, worse still, a combination of these and other unprintable problems.
Wetin carry Biafra come here?
Is Biafra the same as Niger Delta?

Check Google before abusing me, and getting fired by a ripe 3D thunder.

Are you people trying to justify their actions?

Are you part of them?

Do you share in their destructive ideologies as well?

Leave their wealth to them. If you can justify a Northerner having all oil well, then I can justify them blowing everything

Resource Control and True Federalism is what we need. We don't need crumbs

I tire o. I don't know what is wrong with some of our brothers. What da hell is "pipeline surveilance contract"? We are talking of Resource control and True Federalism, they are talking peanuts.

Unfortunately,the North does not want these things because they believe it is not in their best interest. I kind of think that attacks on Oil installations will be an ever increasing thing under Buhari. I feel sorry for the Niger-Delta people. Less than 200 years ago, it was their land,their waters and their Oil. But today,their land has been destroyed and they no longer own the waters or oil just becuase the White man came to west Africa to create Nigeria
