NDA Bombs Agip pipeline In Bayelsa Over Nnamdi Kanu's Release








           A new militant group, Red Egbesu
Water Lions, has surfaced in the Niger Delta
region, just as suspected militants, Tuesday
night, blew up the Sagbama-Tuomo gas line,
belonging to Nigerian Agip Oil Company, NAOC,
at Egbembiri, Southern Ijaw local government
area of Bayelsa State .
A security source, who confirmed the explosion,
said: “Egbembiri is a border town between
Bayelsa and Delta states. They destroyed the
Ayama section of the Ogboinbiri-Tuomo gas
pipeline with dynamites at about 9.00 pm on
Tuesday.





 That line was earlier repaired, last
week and again vandalized.”
“We, however, suspect that dispute over the
surveillance contract led to the attack. The Agip
pipeline links major oil facilities in Delta and
Bayelsa States,” he added.

The new militant group in a statement by its
Creek Network Coordinator, “General”
Torunanawei Latei, said it was teaming up with
the Niger Delta Avengers and Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB.





“It issued the Federal Government a seven-day
ultimatum to release Nnamdi Kanu, former
National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki
and direct EFCC to defreeze the bank accounts
of ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupol,
alias Tompolo,
Threatening to shut down all oil exploration
activities in the Niger Delta at the expiration of
the ultimatum.

 The group also demanded
“unconditional immediate payment to victims of
the Bonga Oil Spill and Chevron gas explosion in
Koluama, Bayelsa state.”
"It is extremely important to note that the engine
room of the national interest is the executive
obedience to court orders, protection and
preservation of citizens’ constitutional liberties.
Justification of executive disobedience to court
orders as a protection of national interest is
abominable.

“This is a deliberate ploy to bend the law and
suspend the 1999 Constitution. We ask, does
President Muhammadu Buhari have any legal
capacity to declare anyone as a criminal?
Disobedience to court orders is an act of
executive rascality in the country," the group
added.
