MILITANTS VOW TO RESUME ATTACK OVER OSINBANJO'S COMMENT
Following the recent comments made by the Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbanjo, saying that the Militants are fighting for their own interest, the three Militants groups- Niger Delta Volunteers, Niger Delta Peoples Liberation Movement and the Bakassi Freedom Fighters have vowed to continue attacking.
Three Militants have reacted to the criticism made the Nigeria Vice President while he was delivering a lecture at Elizade University in Ondo State. The three Militants have interpreted Osibanjo's statement as an act of ridiculing. They said instead he (Vice President) should have advise the President, Muhammadu Buhari, to address the injustice in Niger Delta. This was made known in statement signed by their spokesperson, Ekpo Ekpo for NDV, Henry Etete for NDPLF and Asukwo Henshaw for BFF.
This statement which was released on Tuesday, also criticised Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria, saying that the Nigeria unity is not negotiable.
