The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers
and 10 other militant groups have threatened to attack oil installations in the
Niger Delta if Paul Boroh, sacked coordinator of the amnesty programme, is not
reinstated in four weeks.
Last week, President Muhammadu
Buhari removed Boroh from the position and appointed Charles Dokubo, a
professor, in his place.
According to NAN, Johnmark
Ezonbi, leader of the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers, said the federal
government would “hear from them” if Boroh is not reinstated.
He said the sacked coordinator of
the amnesty programme plays a significant role in prevailing on the militants
to end attacks on oil installations.
Ezonbi said it is “obvious” that
the government was toiling with the destiny of the Niger Delta.
A statement by Ezonbi read: “The
federal government will hear from us at the expiration of the four weeks
ultimatum as no single stone will be left unturned as the administration
preferred to go back to the recession period where Boroh played a major role by
visiting the creeks with other stakeholders to prevail on the boys to drop
their arms and embrace peace.
“[We will] embark on a well
coordinated destruction of all major delivery oil pipelines after the
expiration of the four weeks ultimatum without looking back.
“I want to warn that any intruder
into our planned action in four weeks time if the federal government fails to
reinstate General Paul Boroh will be severely dealt with without mercy because
our attack will make security agencies in the creek very small.
“We are fully ready to take on
anybody as we have the instrumental of warfare that will make the biggest
military might to marvel at our coordinated attacks.
“We are ready to dirty our rivers
and creek with our oil, it is better we spill it than allow government use it
to develop other parts of the country.”
He said Boroh made efforts to put
the amnesty programme back on track with the regular training of ex-militants
and prompt payment of monthly stipends.
