A new militant group on 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 new militant group, Red Egbesu Water Lions 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.
