Another militant group emerges in Niger Delta
A new Niger-Delta militant group, Utorogu Liberation Movement (ULM) has emerged, vowing to blow up gas pipelines in the region.
The group’s statement reads: “My
good people of Utorogun community, Otu-Jeremi, Otor-Udu, Iwkrekan,
Ekakpamre and all oil and pipeline communities within this region, this
is the voice of ULM in collaboration with outgas force.
“It
is a secessionist move. The awareness of things happening in our
environment is a means to outline our course of action. The awareness is
an agitation for economic balance. We have a common enemy, the Nigerian
Petroleum Development Company, NPDC and ND Western who hate your
progress and wish you die in poverty.”
The new militant group also said it will blow up oil facilities located along the Oil Mining Lease 34.
Daily Post reports that ULM also threatened to blow up the biggest gas plant in West Africa, the Otorogu Gas Plant located in Delta State.
The Niger Delta Avengers claimed that they blew up an NNPC pipeline in Akwa Ibom, today, Thursday, June 16, 2016 by 4:00 am.
