A militant group claimed to be the Supreme Egbesu Liberation Fighters has threatened to attack the nation’s infrastructure if their concerns are not considered. They sent a video message via Africa Independent Television (AIT) Twitter handle. According to them, “after accepting the amnesty pact, till date, there are no schools, no potable water, no light, no hospital and access roads for our people to enjoy.”
They said:
“So many others have decided to treat us in the same manner. Don’t worry because we are coming to destroy all your infrastructures in Abuja and Lagos. Even to the oil companies operating in our region that have decided to undermine our people, be rest assured that your days would soon catch up with you.
“Due to the insensitive nature of the Nigerian government on issues that are bothering its citizens, today the country is in turmoil. Protest everywhere and strike in several sectors. The EndSARS protest that took place almost crippled the nation’s economy. It is amongst such ill-treatments that gave birth to this unprecedented protest.
“Nigerian government ought to give her citizens good governance. Today, the various zones in the country are calling for division of the country called Nigeria.
“So as a group determined to give total liberation of her people, we will destroy all the oil facilities both onshore and offshore in no distant time. We will be seen to be crippling the Nigerian economy in no distant time as well.”
