The Brigade Commander of 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze, Owerri West local council area of Imo State, Brigadier-General Kay Ishiaku, has dismissed the recent claim by Niger Delta Red Squad, NDRS, a new militant group that it bombed facilities of oil companies operating in Imo State.
Ishiaku, who debunked the report however, warned that his Command would not take kindly to any group with satanic intents.
“A new militant group recently claimed that it bombed oil pipelines in the state. I must tell you that this is not true. No such thing took place in this state. I must however warn that this Command will not look kindly on any such group with satanic intents,” Brigadier-General Ishiaku said. He advised the new militant group that instead of engaging in bombing oil pipelines and facilities, they should rather aim at solving their problems through dialogue.
“Violence does not and can never solve problems. It is advisable for the group to adopt dialogue instead of the destruction of oil pipelines and facilities. They should realize that all such activities resulted to the pollution of the environment and engineering undue suffering among the citizenry,” Ishiaku said.
Answering a question on the Army Day Celebration, General Ishiaku said that apart from the clean-up exercise executed at the Control Post, Owerri, weekend, they had also organized a medical outreach. “The medical outreach exercise was tailored to give free medical assistance to some less -privileged members of the society that could not afford their medical bills, while the weekend’s clean-up exercise started early in the morning and lasted for over seven hours.
“Our officers and men worked on the major streets of World Bank, Assumpta Avenue, Onitsha and Port Harcourt roads. We also came with our trucks, wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, brooms and other work implements,” Ishiaku said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
