In a daring and resistance to President Muhammadu Buhari's order for security forces to curtail militants' violence in the South South geo political zone of the country, the Niger Delta Liberation Force (NDLF), declared that the bombing of pipelines in the Niger Delta would continue.
This was made known yesterday by the group spokesman, Mark Anthony, noting that President Buhari "is not God to be feared".
The group also demanded the sack of Paul Boroh, Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, for trying to muscle militants with threat, Anthony stated: "We have not condemned the current bombing because when we surrendered, we told the world that bombing of pipelines was not over yet."
According to the NDLF, "They should not hide their identity. Buhari is not God and they should not be scared of him. JTF should not attack and arrest innocent people in Ijaw communities; they should go for the real saboteurs.
"We told former President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigerian Army couldn't protect pipelines in the creek. The current Amnesty Chairman Paul Boroh does not know the boys in Niger Delta. He is not in touch with Niger Delta major ex-agitators. Buhari should sack him immediately and appoint another chairman like Kingsley Kuku, who knows the boys in the creek. This will help the current oil war," the NDLF spokesman man stated.
The former NDLF's leader John Togo, who claimed that their main goal is to secede from Nigeria and gain independence from Nigeria, was believed killed on July 19, 2011 in an air strike near Warri, Delta State.
The group became weak after the death of their leader and many of their members joined the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta. Although many members left around 2,500 remained in the NDLF.
