.”FG Must Apologise To Tompolo For His Father’s Death”
Niger Delta militants on Saturday threatened to blow up more oil facilities if the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari failed to drop the charges against a former militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.
General Playboy condemned the raid of Gbaramatu Kingdom by soldiers, pointing out that soldiers never raided communities in the North in search of Boko Haram members.
For there to be peace, he also demanded a government apology to Tompolo over the death of his (Tompolo) father.
He said, “You (Federal Government) are coming to Gbaramatu Kingdom in search of militants; how many communities in the North-East have you raided in search of Boko Haram?
“We have said it before now that we will not stop bombing until the Federal Government drops charges against Tompolo and any indigene of Niger Delta, and apologise to Tompolo over the death of his father, who soldiers have killed.
“Let me use this medium to warn the Federal Government that if anything should happen to former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, President Muhammadu (Buhari) will see our true colours.”
On the clean-up of Ogoniland and other parts of the Niger Delta region, the militant leader added:
“We urge that Ogoni cleansing should be handled by Niger Delta indigenous companies. It is painful that our Niger Delta states cannot pay salaries while Lagos State can pay. Why should Lagos State be richer than Delta State if not for the neglect?
“We are urging all Niger Delta governors to come together and let us fight because we need development in our land. All our states should have a tourist attraction like the Obudu cattle ranch.”
