Niger Delta militant group, Niger Delta Greenland Justice
Mandate says it has attacked another crude oil delivery line at Effurun-Otor
Ughelli South Council Area of Delta state. The 32-inch pipeline, which is
operated by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, was brought down by the
militants at about 11.30pm on Saturday.
The group also announced that it also rejecting the Tuesday,
November 1 meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and some leaders of the
region. Greenland Mandate said although it was desirous to negotiate with the
Federal Government, it was not comfortable with some of the delegates in the
Chief Edwin Clark-led Pan Niger Delta Forum. It had also threatened to attack
oil facilities in the region if the Federal Government decided to go ahead with
the proposed meeting because it did not trust members of the Clark committee.
According to the statement by the militants’ spokesman, Aldo Agbalaja, the
group said “We are reiterating our unflinching belief that the Pan-Niger Delta
Forum, being coordinated by E.K Clark, is a job and therefore can never get our
support. Like we said before now, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is
not opposed to a genuine dialogue between the Federal Government and the real
representatives of the various ethnic groups of our region.”
