. Give FG June 3 Ultimatum to release corpses of killed Pro-Biafran protesters
Niger Delta militants told the Federal Government today that its military killed members of MASSOB, the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Biafra Independent Movement without provocation. The militants gave the government till Friday, June 3 to release the corpses of 10 pro-Biafra agitators.
In a statement issued via the internet, they threatened to avenge the “unprovoked” killing of Biafra supporters by security operatives. They said that the decision to avenge the killing of pro-Biafra protesters was reached at an emergency meeting organised by some leaders of various militant groups in the Niger Delta.
“If Federal Government fails to release them (corpses) by Friday, June 3, 2016, they will hear from us from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Edo States,” the statement said.
The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, Precious Iyoyo, aka General Playboy and his counterpart, General Ben of Concerned Militant Leaders, said that it was depressing to observe the level of tactlessness displayed against the people.
They expressed their sympathy for Biafra and vowed to go after security operatives in an unprecedented manner.
General Ben specifically said the Federal Government has simply declared war against innocent Nigerians through the action of the security forces on Monday.
“It is now war between the militants and security men. Since innocent and helpless citizens, especially from South-South and South East, have been marked for extinction, we will defend our people.”
