A Niger Delta group, the Joint Niger Delta
Liberation Force, has vowed to launch six missiles in
the region. The group also warned against the
deployment of helicopters in the South South zone by
the military, saying it was going to bring them down.
It also said once the deployment of the six missiles
commences, no flight operations should take place
within the country’s airspace. The group, which also
claimed affiliation to the Niger Delta Avengers, said
the missiles were capable of bringing down any
aircraft no matter how big. It fixed June 7 for the
commencement of the launching of the missiles. In a
statement signed by four members of the JNDLF, the
group said it had observed that President
Muhammadu Buhari was bent on breaking up the
country and that it was set for the proposal. The
statement, signed by General Akotebe Darikoro,
Commander, General Duties; General
Torunnanaowei Latei, Creeks Network Coordinator;
General Agbakakuro Owei-Tauro, Pipelines
Bleeding Expert; and General Pulokiri Ebiladei of its
Intelligence Bureau, reads in full: “We have seen and
noted that President Muhammadu Buhari (a.k.a.
Pharaoh) is set for the final breakup of the country.
Mr. Buhari should also know that we are also
prepared and set for his proposal. The Joint
Revolutionary Council (JRC) which is the highest
organ of all the freedom fighting body has finally
endorsed the followings: 1. After extensive and
exhaustive deliberation by all Commanders of
various groups in Yenagoa, the heart of the Niger
Delta struggle met last night and as part of our
mission, we are going to test six (6) of our MISSILES
in the region. This is to show the federal government
of our readiness of the American prediction. 2. There
should be NO any form of helicopter to fly around in
the region as we will not guarantee the safety of such
object. 3. The people of the Niger Delta region should
not be panic in course of test running the 6
MISSILES. 4. We may also decide within the week to
shut down the Nigerian satellite orbit, so that there
will be no communication in the country if needs
arise. 5. Within our three (3) days operations, NO
airplane should fly out of the country because it can
target such object no matter how small or big it may
be. 6. Our Fighter Expert Team shall be position in
the six (6) Niger Delta states, who are already arrived
the region from training through our country’s
porous borders with our foreign partners who are
going to showcase what they have learnt in past on
year. 7. Our struggle is not for any human blood, but
we have been pushed to the wall for justice because
our patience is running out on daily basis as
Nigerian uniform men killing our innocent people
continuously. 8. Nigerian military should as a matter
of urgency leave peacefully the Ijaw communities
they are presently in, the next 48 hours under the
guise of searching for the Niger Delta Avengers
(NDA) or else we should not be blamed of whatever
catastrophe that may befall on such officers and the
likely affected families of the officers should blame
not the region. 9. We have consulted our war gods
(deities) that enough is enough and that the time has
come. Since the present Pharaoh of Nigeria,
President Buhari is to preside over the disintegration
of the country it is a good omen. 10. Henceforth, any
attack on Ijaw communities or person(s) by the
military or para-military body in the region, we will
not hesitate to order our shoot-at- sight squad of any
uniform personnel in the region. 11. We ask all
Service Chiefs including Minister of Defence to
shamefully resign their positions because Nigeria
has no security in whatever form. Bravo to our
Foreign Marine Crack Team for their ability to shut
down Nigerian obsolete surveillance equipments. 12.
For the records, Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) are not
in Delta state, we only go there to strike and return
back safely to the struggle base, Bayelsa state. 13. We
further warn especially Mr. Jonathan Obuebite,
Information Commissioner in Bayelsa state not to
criticize our activities any longer or else he has a
choice of leaving the planet earth anytime he made
such statement (s). 14. All oil and gas operations
should shut down immediately as our MISSILES
testing will affect their equipments. 15. NOTE, we
shall commence MISSILES testing on Tuesday 7,
June 2016 which coincide with the date of our
training abroad. Since the present Pharaoh of
Nigeria (Buhari) fails to our demands. We promised
Nigerians and the entire world that we are going to
surprise them
