An Urhobo militant group, Urhobo Gbagbako, on Friday
claimed responsibility for Thursday night’s bombing of the
NPDC Oil pipelines at Ighrenene, Afiesere and Ekiugbo
communities in Delta State.
The group, which made the claims in an email sent to some
reporters, said it is also planning to shut down all the oil
fields in Urhobo and Isoko areas.
The email signed by the group’s s spokesperson, Priest
Omodjuvwu, said the bombing of the Ekiugbo/Ighrenene/
Afiesere was to draw attention to the neglect of ex-militants
of Urhobo extraction.
It said the Urhobo had been sidelined in the
pipelines protection contracts offered to ex-
militants from other ethnic groups by President
Goodluck Jonathan and they now want to show that
they too had the capacity to cause trouble if
ignored.
The group said it had sent warning signals to the NPDC and
the federal government on the pipeline surveillance
contracts, which had excluded the Urhobo.
Urhobo Gbagbako however dissociated itself from media
reports about a 14-day ultimatum given to the federal
government and NPDC on the oil pipeline surveillance
contracts.
“We have now resumed attack on the NPDC pipeline
facilities on a massive scale, which scale of bombings shall
be unprecedented,” the email said.
The group said the attacks will continue until the Urhobo
got what rightly belonged to them. #Trouble CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
