Abuja politician behind militancy in Niger Delta – Ex-militant leader
Ex-militant leader, Africanus Ukparasia, popularly known as Gen. Africa has accused n unnamed Abuja-based politician of sabotaging the economy of the country by sponsoring militants to bomb oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta.
In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, Gen. Africa, accused his colleagues and the Abuja-based politician of trying to re-invent their relevance by engaging some criminal elements to blow-up pipelines and other oil infrastructure in the Nembe-Brass and Southern Ijaw Local Government axis of Bayelsa state.
Gen Africa who was recently appointed chairman of the Bayelsa State Waterways Security Task Force (BWSTF), warned them not to test the resolve of the Task Force and the Federal Government to stop the bombing of oil and gas facilities and other national assets in the state.
According to Gen. Africa, his Task Force would spare nobody or group in their work to bring sanity to the waterways and security of oil and gas facilities in the state as the Task Force would take off soon.
He stated that those engaged in pipeline vandalism, sea-piracy and kidnapping would have a tough time operating in the state as the Task Force would comb the state to forestall crime and criminality against our own people, environment and our very means of livelihood.
Gen. Africa advised mischief makers and conflict merchants to steer clear from such dastardly acts or be ready to face the full weight of the law.
He warned that since no one is above the law, they would be arrested and prosecuted if they continue to engage in such nefarious and criminal acts.
He thanked the Federal and Bayelsa state Governments on his appointment and their efforts to curtail the wanton destruction of oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta.
He also called for the cooperation of all Bayelsans in the task of clearing the waterways of sea-pirates and other miscreants for easy and free boat movements to allow genuine businesses to flow un-hindered.
Militants vow to declare Niger Delta Republic on August 1
Adaka Boro Avengers (ABA) said on Sunday that it had concluded arrangements with other militant groups to declare the Niger Delta region an independent republic on August 1.
The militant group also gave the Federal Government an ultimatum to withdraw its personnel and establishment from the region before the date of its declaration of independence.
It also ordered all northerners and people of the South West to vacate its territory.
In the same vein, the Ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta, another militant group, said it has rejected the leadership of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).
ABA, in a statement issued by General Edmos Ayayeibo, its spokesperson, mandated the Federal Government to use the three weeks’ notice to “move out all military personnel and all government agencies out of the Niger Delta,” and warned that “failure will lead to destruction of military barracks and personnel.”
“We, the Adaka Boro Avengers and all the freedom fighters in the Niger Delta region have met and come to a conclusion that we are declaring the Niger Delta Republic three weeks from today July 18, 2016.
“So we are by this notice calling on the Nigerian government to move out all military personnel and all government agencies out of the Niger Delta. Failure will lead to destruction of military barracks and personnel.
“We are, also, by this notice calling on our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters living in the northern parts of Nigeria to return home immediately.
“We are also warning northerners and westerners to leave the Niger Delta region immediately within three weeks from now, for their own good.
“If they refuse to heed to our warning, we will use so many as example in the Niger Delta region on the due date.
“We are telling the Nigerian government that enough is enough and we are taking our independence by force. We have our foreign backers, so we are not afraid of the Nigerian government but ready for total war.
“The inhuman treatment given to us by Nigerian government is enough. We can no longer withstand the suffering of our Niger Delta people. They should not take us for fools.”
The Ultimate Warriors, in a statement on Saturday, had told MEND to stop parading itself as the leader of the militant groups in the region and vowed to continue with the destruction of oil installations.
The group said: “We have said it before that we have nothing to lose on the bombing of oil pipelines because our mission is to ground the oil economy if our demands are not met.
“We have said we are doing what we are doing to prod the government to renegotiate the control of our oil resources and other related matters.
“We have watched with chagrin the recent utterance by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and all we are see in them are double standard and lips service to the demand of the groups as its concerns the Niger Delta question and that is why all of our units and affiliates have not fully heeded to our ceasefire.”
However, MEND urged Niger Delta activists, militants and other agitators to be united in finding a solution to the region’s crisis
MEND said they needed to be united and speak with one voice to channel their grievances and demands to the Federal Government through the Niger Delta Dialogue and Contact Group (NDDCG).
“All aggrieved minor militant groups, all those so-called Niger Delta activists, elders, tribal assemblies, sycophants and parasites amongst others, who have suddenly found their voice after six years of a criminal conspiracy of silence during the neglect and misrule of former President Goodluck Jonathan, and who are now clamouring for recognition, relevance and inclusion in the ongoing Niger Delta peace process should contact and channel their grievances and demands through the NDDCG, which will act as their representative.
“The subject matter of the discourse centers around the forthcoming dialogue with the Federal Government on the resolution of the current Niger Delta crisis and the imperative for the entire Niger Delta region to unite and speak with a single voice under the single umbrella of the MEND Aaron Team 2 dialogue and peace initiative led by Mr. Odein Ajumogobia (SAN),” MEND said.
As at last count at least four new militant groups have emerged in the region.
They include the Niger Delta Avengers; Asawana Deadly Force; the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force (JNDLF) and the Adaka Boro Avengers.
The Adaka Boro Avengers had on Tuesday, July 5, indicated that it would team up with the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) to attack more oil installations in the Niger Delta.
The activities of these militant groups have negatively affected Nigeria’s crude oil production and sales.
As at May 2016, Nigeria’s oil production had dropped to 1.65m barrels a day, the lowest output in 22 years, as a result of resurgence of militant activities in the Niger Delta region.
Production began sliding in February when the Niger Delta Avengers claimed an attack on an underwater pipeline running that forced Royal Dutch Shell to shut down its Forcados export terminal.
That singular action knocked off at least 250,000 bpd.
Shell had also declared force majeure on exports of Bonny Light crude after a leak on one of its trunk lines in the Delta.
Also, Chevron shut a platform after an attack also claimed by the Niger Delta Avengers.
The Federal Government last week Wednesday said it was not possible to implement in full the nation’s 2016 budget of N6.06 trillion.
In offering explanation on why this has to be so, it stated that the activities of militants in the Niger Delta region were responsible for the unfortunate situation.
According to the government, the nation is presently losing on a daily basis a quantum of about 40 percent to 50 percent of oil production projection due to the activities of the militants.
Mr. Babachir David Lawal, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), brought the unpleasant message to the Senate.
He said the oil benchmark of the Federal Government has been drastically dislocated and grossly affected by activities of militants, lamenting that at a time the country was producing about 800,000 barrels per day.
Shootout in Niger Delta creeks as troops kill militants, avert attack on oil pipeline
By Emma Amaize, Kingsley Omonobi, Jimitota Onoyume, Simon Ebegbulem & Egufe Yafugborhi YENAGOA—THE standoff between the military and the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, degenerated, early yesterday, as soldiers of 343 Artillery Regiment of 2 Brigade, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, engaged the militants in a fierce gun duel at Gulobokri and Eweleso communities, around Brass area of Bayelsa State. This led to the killing of some of the militants, which averted their attack on an oil pipeline in the two communities. Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman, who confirmed this in a statement, said another patrol team of the same unit in Perigbene House Boat, Bayelsa State encountered three speedboats suspected to be carrying militants about to attack another critical infrastructure in the area.
Suspected Niger Delta Avenger paraded by the 4th Brigade Commander, Gen.F.Yahaya in Benin City Sunday However, the casualty on the side of the militants could not be ascertained as it was raining heavily and the raging storm could not allow troops to pursue the suspected militants. He said: “During the exercise, the patrol team had an encounter with some armed militants in two speedboats with intent to blow up Nigerian Agip Oil Company pipeline at Gulobokri. The suspected vandals opened fire on the patrol team. “The troops responded with overwhelming superior firepower and as a result, the suspected criminals sped off from the area with many of them sustaining gunshot wounds. No casualty was recorded by the patrol team. “Unfortunately, a personnel of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, attached to the team sustained gunshot wound. He has since been evacuated and he is in stable condition. “A mop up operation has been organized for those militants that escaped with gunshot wounds as they may be receiving treatment in the neighbouring communities. With this development, troops would continue to intensify patrol in the general area to avert further vandalism or attacks in the area.” FG discussing with ex-militant leaders in N/Delta Meanwhile, the Federal Government, weekend, met with ex-militant leaders in the Niger Delta, some of whom are suspected members of Niger Delta Avengers, where they agreed to stop the renewed bombing of oil installations, while government looked into the issues raised by the ex-militant leaders in the region. At the meeting hosted by Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Matters and Coordinator of the Amnesty Programme, Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh (retd), the Federal Government lamented that the current bombing was crippling the nation’s economy and appealed cessation of hostilities on the part of NDA. JTF mobilizing for the creeks and Oporoza town Those at the well attended meeting, which lasted more than six hours, included Phases one, two, three ex-militants of the Amnesty programme from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Edo states. Boroh, who spoke to journalists shortly after the meeting with the ex-militants, said the current bombing of oil facilities was inflicting pains on Nigerians and urged the perpetrators to table their demands before government to stop the destruction. According to him, plans are in top gear to provide welfare and housing scheme for the ex-militants, aside its usual programme and projects that were on-going, stressing that the current situation in the region had rendered the country impotent at solving its own problems. I don’t know you, stop blowing up pipelines, Tompolo tells Avengers Similarly, ex-militant leader, Government Ekpempuolo, alias Tompolo, yesterday, insisted he didn’t know the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, and urged the militant group to stop blowing up oil facilities and embrace dialogue, if it was truly fighting for Niger Deltans. Tompolo, in a statement, said: “I wish to appeal to you (Niger Delta Avengers) once again to stop the bombing of oil facilities in the Niger Delta and embrace dialogue with the Federal Government, as the government is ready to hear you out on whatever issues you wish to discuss with it. “You guys know that I do not know you and how to reach you, except through the mass media. If truly, as you guys claimed, that you are fighting for the well-being of the people of the Niger Delta, then you must adhere to this appeal, otherwise, the world will label you as criminals.” Army parades 10 suspected NDA militants in Edo Meanwhile, 10 suspected members of Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, allegedly involved in the current attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta, were paraded, yesterday, in Benin City, Edo State, alongside their arms and ammunition by the Commander, 4th Brigade, Nigeria Army, Benin City, Brig-General F. Yahaya. The suspects, according to the Brigade Commander, were arrested in Oporoza, headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. Some of the weapons recovered from them included pistol and magazines, live cartridges, explosive devices, ipads, laptops, combat boot, dagger, cable wire, speed boat throttle cable, among others. Cease fire, Delta Ijaw monarchs, leaders tell Avengers, FG Also, Ijaw traditional rulers and Ijaw Council of Elders in Delta State have appealed to youths destroying oil assets and military invaders in their communities to ceasefire and embrace dialogue to resolve the issues in contention. The Delta Ijaw monarchs and leaders at a meeting, weekend, in Edjeba, Warri South council, palace annex of the paramount ruler of Seinbiri Kingdom, His Majesty, Ayemi Botu, assured in a statement signed by HRM D. Donokoromo, the Pere of Isaba Kingdom, Chairman for the Delta Ijaw Traditional Rulers Forum and Chief Bare Etolor, who chairs the Ijaw Council of Leaders, advised both parties to observe a truce effective June 1 to July 1, 2016 to give peace a chance. IYC warns Also, Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, warned that until President Muhammadu Buhari put machinery in place for relevant constitution amendment to revert Nigeria to the practice of fiscal and true federalism or begin the implementation of resolutions of the 2014 National Conference, agitations, including militancy in the Niger Delta, would never end. It said: “The only solution to intermittent crisis in the Niger Delta, which has led to massive bombing of oil installations by militant groups, is for the APC-led government to address resource control and ownership question which had been the remote cause of crisis in the Delta.” IYC in a communique by its President, Mr Udengs Eradiri, at the end of its one-day stakeholders’ conference to mark the end of the month-long activities in honour of Ijaw hero, the late Major Jasper Adaka Boro, observed that the issues that gave rise to renewed militancy in the region were the same that gave birth to the late Major Adaka Boro’s struggles, which culminated in the 12-day revolution in the 1960s. “Whereas, the Presidential Amnesty programme of 2009 brought temporary peace to the Niger Delta, the crucial issues of resource control and true federalism which formed the basis for the agitation were not addressed,” the group said. The IYC vowed to resist any attempt to single out former President Goodluck Jonathan for arrest and humiliation over spurious allegations of corruption in the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government’s anti-corruption fight. It urged Buhari to accord Jonathan the same respect accorded other former Presidents, or demonstrate his sincerity by first probing all former Presidents, including Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Olusegun Obasanjo. Students may miss NECO exams in Ijaw riverside communities Meanwhile, there are fears that hundreds of students in Ijaw riverside communities, who enrolled for the National Examination Council of Nigeria, NECO, examinations, beginning tomorrow at Oporoza Secondary School, Oporoza, Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West council may not be able to write the examination due to the ongoing military operation in the community. In addition, movement on the waterways has become more difficult because of the ongoing military operation. The Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative, IPDI, which raised the alarm on NECO examinations, said: “Oporoza Secondary School is the only secondary school in Gbaramatu Kingdom and when the military invaded the community last Saturday, students and their parents fled into the bush and have not returned.” National President of IPDI, Austin Ozobo, told Vanguard: “Except the military vacates the community, it will be a bad moment for them because people are afraid to return to the community. “We are saying that the military should vacate Oporoza so that the displaced persons will return to their community. We are not saying the military should not do their normal routine patrols of providing security for oil installations, but they should vacate to enable students participate in NECO examinations starting tomorrow.” Tompolo called me — Otuaro Meanwhile, Tompolo, weekend, called the Deputy Governor of Delta State and Chairman, Advocacy Committee Against Oil Facility Vandalism, Mr. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, on phone from his hideout, saying soldiers’ invasion of Oporoza community in search of him was a calculated plot to make him join forces with the Niger Delta Avengers. The former Commander of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, reportedly told Otuaro that despite the aggravating military action, which has left defenceless women and children trapped in the bush since Saturday, he would never renege on his stand against bombings of oil installations having accepted amnesty in 2009. A source confided in Vanguard: “I can tell you that Tompolo actually phoned the deputy governor telling him that he was being tempted to go back to his vomit by the military, but he would not like to fall for it. The deputy governor, who is a minister of the Most High God counselled him not to ever make such a mistake his life.” Contacted on Tompolo’s phone call to him, Otuaro wondered how Vanguard got the information. He confirmed that Tompolo actually called him when Vanguard revealed part of the information. He said: “It is true; it was yesterday (Saturday) that he called my phone on the Oporoza military invasion allegedly in search him, which left helpless women and children in the bush for over 48 hours now. Essentially, he said it was a temptation intended to provoke him to join forces with the Niger Delta Avengers. “In his (Tompolo) words: ’I have often denounced and dissociated myself from the Niger Delta Avengers, I am not an Avenger and I do not want to be part of them. I pray and wish not to fall into that temptation.’ This is what he told me on the phone

Cynthia Morgan Reveals That She Met Her Dad For The First Time At Seven
Dancehall singer, Cynthia Morgan, has revealed she laid eyes on her father for the first time at the age of seven. She shared her experience growing up in a single home. Here’s what she told Saturday Beats: The first time I met my father was when I was seven years old and I know what it feels like. There is the psychological effect that comes with growing up without your parents together as a kid. It is only few people like me that came out normal and I became determined to be successful in life so as to make my mother proud. Some people use that as an escape to be wayward and turn out to be a single parent just like their mothers who gave birth to them. They forget that no woman wishes to be a single parent if they really knew what they were going into. Everyone wants the best for their kids and having a father is one of those things.”

Pregnant woman reportedly beaten to death over debt
A pregnant woman trading in textiles has reportedly been beaten to death over her N2 million debt owed to her co-trader.
Correspondents from The Nation reports that the deceased who had been three months pregnant at the time, had approached a fellow trader identified simply as Oriekun, asking for a loan to allow her buy more materials.
Brother to the deceased, Abdulahi Asimolowo, disclosed to the publication that his sister had paid back the loan exactly five months after, adding that Oriekun had insisted on a N400, 000 interest for the five months period.
Speaking with The Nation, he said:
“It is a common practice among traders at Gbagi Market to assist one another with money to buy goods. No interest is usually charged. This was what happened between my sister and Oriekun.
“Oriekun assisted my sister with the sum of N2m, which was refunded after five months. She, however, insisted that she would collect interest on the money for another five months. She said she would collect N400,000 per month. She also threatened the deceased to consider herself a walking corpse if she refused to pay the interest.”
Asimolowo also disclosed that the deceased had later agreed to pay the interest after a lot of harassment from Oriekun, but later realised that she could no longer continue, discontinuing the payments.
“She actually paid some of the interest, but when she could no longer continue, she told Oriekun that she was tired of paying because she could no longer afford it."
The thugs were reportedly sent to attack Oduola on May 19, 2016, for failure to pay the expected interest amount.
“The thugs beat her up and left her when she collapsed. She lost her pregnancy as a result of the attack and she was rushed to the hospital.
“She was taken to a private hospital at Olodo area, and later transferred to the Police Hospital at Eleyele. From there, she was transferred to the University College Hospital where she died on July 9, 2016.”
Oriekun has now been arrested by the officers from the Oyo State police command, and is awaiting trial.
May the soul of the deceased rest in peace.
I fortify 1,700 prophets in Africa, including TB Joshua' - Nana Kwaku Bonsam
The very powerful juju priest who is also called Devil of Wednesday, had also claimed that Prophet Joshua killed the late former Ghana President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, who was one of Joshua's best friends and adherent.
This time around, Bonsam says he is actually behind the powers of more than 1,700 preachers in Africa his number one enemy, TB Joshua, claiming the men of God come to him for fortification to perform miracles and healing.
Devil of Wednesday further went on to say:
"Over 1, 700 pastors and so called men of God from different parts of Africa have approached me, seeking powers to perform miracles, including Prophet T.B Joshua from Nigeria. He is my boy. I challenge him to come out and deny this.
Apart from the pastors, many prominent business people and celebrated church founders in Africa frequent my shrine for my services and if they deny, I am going to name them."
Bonsam, who operates from a shrine at Sa-Peiman, a village on the outskirts of Nsawam in east Ghana, said his god is called Kofi-Kofi and provides him with supernatural powers that are desperately needed by pastors from all walks of life.
Ghanaian Pastor Says T.B. Joshua Used Victims For Sacrifice
Isaac Owusu Bempah of the Glorious Way Chapel in an interview with a radio station in Ghana warned Christians to be careful of Prophet Joshua because according to him, the SCOAN founder is “working fervently to attract as many people as he can, to Satan”.
A popular pastor in Ghana claimed that the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), T.B. Joshua has some questions to answer as there is more to the collapse of his building than meets the eye.
It was announced by NEMA that the death toll had risen to 45 and 130 people had been rescued from the rubble of the collapsed building after the incident occurred on Friday, September 12.
Isaac Owusu Bempah of the Glorious Way Chapel in an interview with radio station, Okay FM in Ghana warned Christians to be careful of Prophet Joshua because according to him, the SCOAN founder is “working fervently to attract as many people as he can, to Satan”.
He said: “Look at what is happening to him. You came for a program in Ghana and that lead to the death of four people. You also woke up one day and a whole building collapsed killing over forty people.”
“This is evil hands at work because I know people who have to make human sacrifices in order to be promoted in the spiritual realm...I know some people will vilify me for making this known,” he stated.
Rev. Owusu Bempah said he has the permission of God to disclose the prophet's ‘demonic deeds’, adding that the tragic incident was an ‘act of human sacrifice’.
