We have relocated our position from the main passengers’ route in the creek to join our other barracks to carry out a retaliatory action on JTF barbaric action. We did so by bombing our residential building by ourselves today at 2; 00 pm which costs us about N3.5 million during construction early this year. Our main reason for relocation was due to the fact that where the shooting occurred yesterday that lasted for about six hours is a passengers route and we want to make it a safe one for market women and other users to ply. Oil facilities in Niger Delta shall be destroyed like the way we detonated our own precious building. This is the beginning of second phase of an oil war. We will crumble Nigerian economy.

Our relocation was not borne out of fear of JTF untrained bloody soldiers. We will inform JTF our new bases at the soonest. JTF should select their best snappers squad when next coming to face NDLF soldiers. If we had had that opportunity of the JTF with 14 gunboats, we would have climbed the land and conquer. The attack was unexpected and some of our best “executioners” were in our distant bases and the cities. But yet the shooting that lasted for about six hours between JTF soldiers in 14 gunboats and our NDLF 16 soldiers. The result is clear that Nigerian soldiers cannot fight international war. That is why the Nigerian government abandoned our Bakassi oil reserve for Cameroonians.

We have been  informed reliably that JTF in their usual lazy manner wants to air raid neighbouring Ijaw communities. For the record, Ijaw communities have no hand in our re-declared oil war. Therefore, we urge JTF to rescind their devilish plot of bombing and committing genocide as they did to Gbaramatu kingdom. If they are trained soldiers, let us do it in the ground or in their choiced battlefield either in the forest or the sea. If JTF does not rescind her bombing plot and humiliate our harass any innocent civilian in Ijaw communities, we will carry out a reprisal action by bombing military primary school compounds, Sunday churches and market squares in the urban city. They should know that we are not criminals or terrorists, but freedom fighters and our goal is to set the Niger Delta free from internal colonialism. It is JTF that are criminals and terrorists.

But we are agitating for our God given oil which people from other lands have been stealing over 50 years. We are not fighting our brother President Goodluck Jonathan and his2011 ambition. We will come out and vote for him during 2011 general electilon. But what we are saying is that the government of Nigeria has deceived us after we had submitted our arms to accept presidential amnesty. Since we surrendered arms, the government refused to dialogue with us after bribing some misguided youths who called themselves fighters. We must address the fundamental issues of underdevelopment and environmental degradation caused by activities multinational oil exploration and exploitation. Our friend, late President Aljahi Musa Yar’dua had a good intention for the amnesty. But after his death the same Niger Delta leaders who starch some of the regions money abroad and increased the poverty of the region have hijacked the post amnesty again for their selfish interest. Our oil war declaration remains standing and we urge once again, foreign diplomatic missions to advise their nationals to vacate the Niger Delta region for their own interest as we cannot guarantee their safety.

Thank you and Godbless.
