War is brewing and the militants in the Niger Delta region of
Nigeria have asked residents around major oil and gas facilities
across the region to evacuate with immediate effect in order not
to end up as casualties of militancy.
Announcing the order, Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate
(NDGJM) said all marked facilities in the region have been rigged
with explosives at strategic points, waiting to be detonated,
adding that the detonation was being held back because of the
people in the environment.

“One more time, we are warning and at the same time appealing to
residents around major oil and gas facilities across our region to
please evacuate immediately. “This warning has become necessary
because of the fact that we do not wish any of our people, for whom
we have taken up this crusade, to become casualties of our
campaign.
“All the marked facilities in all the states have been rigged with
explosives at strategic points, waiting to be detonated. “We are only
being slowed down because of the presence of those still living
close by. This struggle will only cease when the adversarial Nigerian
system yields to reason,” a statement by the group’s spokesman,
Aldo Agbalaja read.
NDGJM warned the Federal Government to be wary of Chief
Edwin Clark, insisting that the ceasefire declared by the elder
statesman on behalf of militants was “a big fat lie, another
charade.”
the group maintained that there was no reason yet for the group
to halt its assault against oil facilities when the government was
“yet to move a muscle to respond to our requests,” adding the
group has no member or talking leader by the name ODU.
“This said call and the so-called ceasefire is all a job, just like the
Ijaw-dominated, Clark convened Niger Delta stakeholders meeting in
Effurun was, they both are meant to justify money they hope to
obtain from government.
“The high command of the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate
uses this medium to alert the world to disregard this fraud. We have
our means of communicating, definitely not a call. With this
development, if the Nigerian security system is serious about
catching frauds and militants, they should get those who claimed to
have spoken on phone with ODU, they should still have his physical
contacts.

“When we make our next ‘LOUD’ statement, they should go after
ODU, who just claimed to be the leader of the mandate,” the
statement added.
The group has also reaffirmed its lack of confidence in the Chief
Edwin Clark-led team to dialogue with the federal government.
The group insisted it has not appointed anyone or group to go
into negotiating with anybody or government on its behalf.
The group, in a statement signed by Gen. Aldo Agbalaja, warned
the federal government to be wary of the antics of some leaders
in the region who out of desperation to make money are capable
of doing anything to defraud anyone in the guise of
championing the course of the Niger Delta region
