A Niger Delta militant group known as the Niger Delta Revolutionary
Crusaders, NDRC, has issued a statement threatening to kill Muslims and
attack mosques in their region if the Factional leader of Boko Haram
set, Abu Masab el Barnaw and his members carry out their planned attacks
on Christians and Churches. Barnaw yesterday released an audio message
in which he said the vision of their sect was to kill christians and
attack churches. In a swift reaction, spokesperson of the militant
group, W O I Izon-Ebi, warned that the Islamic leader should ot carry
out his plans otherwise they will retaliate. Read Izon-Ebi’s statement below…
โWe want to alert Nigerians and the world that the Islamization plot has
been proven by the Boko Haram new leader Abu Masab el Barnaw that their
new mission is to kill all Christians and burn down all churches. But,
we want to warn them that we, the Niger Delta youths, in this 21st
century will not accept killing of innocent Christians or burning of
churches. That if they try it in the north or any part of Nigeria, we
the Niger Delta youths will not see any Muslim or mosque in the Niger
Delta. We are not against President Buhari granting the Boko Haram
amnesty if their sole purpose is to own an Islamic caliphate in the
north, but they should mot shift it to the Niger Delta. All we know and
want is resource control and true federalism, if truly they believe in
one Nigeria, and are working harder to build a prosperous One Nigeria,
let them shift their Operation Crocodile Tears to the Fulani herdsmen
and the Boko Haram that is threatening the unity and peace of Nigeria.
