Niger Delta: NDLF says it Will Resume Fresh Bombings

Soon 

 We want to call-off our declaration for temporal cease fire in

next (7) seven days, starting from this day of publication and

continue massive attack on oil facilities in Niger Delta following

 federal government recalcitrant approach to our temporal cease fire

agreement in Niger Delta by refusing to address  the fundamenta

l problems of the region by convening a post-amnesty conference.

 NDLF time-bombs are still hanging on oil pipelines, oil well

heads, oil jackets and other flow stations which could be detonated

 through DCP/GPRS remote bombing operation. This time we will touch

both the NNPC major distribution export pipeline in the high sea

with our high capacity time-bombs that have planted on it for barely

 two months. Our resolve to resume hostility is a fallout of genuine

 peace deal on the part of federal government which the Christian

 Association of Nigeria (CAN) leadership and other well meaning

Nigerians represented NDLF for peace negotiation between our

organization and federal government.

By this resumption of fresh attack, we warn soldiers of JTF

to vacate our camps which we abandoned for them as our attacks

shall not spare both soldiers who prove stubborn by occupying our

territories. 

We are aware that our operations have affected the refineries

production in the nation and that is the more reason why we accepted

and obeyed the call by CAN President Papa Ayo Oritsejafor for

cessation of hostilities temporally.

 Our bombs planted on

oil facilities may remain for many years and cannot be easily traced

as many are buried inside the river and both the sea with skin divers

 while the land ones are buried under the surface of the ground in

far thick mangrove forest against pipelines ready for detonation.

It is not our wish to embark on massive bombing again. But federal

 government posture had compelled and pushed NDLF to think and wants

 to act otherwise. 

 Again, our resolve for temporal cease fire was to correct the

insinuation of mischief makers who narrowed our genuine effort

 as that of political manipulation to destabilize President

 Goodluck Jonathan presidential ambition by giving room for a

dialogue and cease hostility in Niger Delta. 

 Finally,we urge Mr. President to use his good office to avert

further bombing of oil facilities by facilitating the process for

speedypeaceful negotiation as Nigeria and Niger Delta belong to all

 of us.

Signed

Capt. Mark Anthony, Spokesman NDLF
