A Niger Delta militant group identified as Urhobo Gbagbako, has blown up the NPDC Oil pipelines at Ighrenene, Afiesere and Ekiugbo communities in Delta State. In an email sent to reporters claiming responsibility for the bombing which occurred yesterday April 2nd, the spokesperson of the group, Priest Omodjuvwu, said the group, which consist of ex-militants, men, women & children of Urhobo origin, decided to blow up the oil pipeline following the continued neglect of the Urhobo militants in the pipelines protection contracts offered to ex-militants from other ethnic groups.
Spokesperson of the militant group, Mr Omdjuvwu said they decided to blow up the pipeline to draw government attention and demand to be included in the pipeline protection contracts. "We have now resumed attack on the NPDC pipeline facilities on a massive scale, which scale of bombings shall be unprecedented,” the email read.

What is Jonathan doing? He's still d president remember anyways I'm not surprised he's used to keeping quiet to crucial issues like this. U don't have to wait for GMB to react. Delay can be dangerous

Anybody dat knows dis so called militants should call dem 2 oda or else GMB will crush dem all
Guy, I have been reading all your comments from the day one you join this forum. Though i do not know why i have to; but i did read every of your comment and counter comments. From the time of BH till the the time of Election, you have been on the side of Muslims for every bad and good they did and when a Christian did something not minding if that is good or bad you comment bad about it. See man i am not a Muslim nor a Christian I am a Thelemite. and i respect one religion. Though we all knows that Islam is not a religion but rather a movement. I want to ask you a question. though i am not in support of the act from the BH and that of Niger Delta Militants! Please can you justify between the two groups why you were supporting all done by the Muslims (BH) in your early comments in this forum till the time of election and why you throw bias comment on other Groups (Christians)?

Well the Urhobo should know that, there is now a new government and it's not going to be xmas as it used to be. No more contract for safe guarding pipelines. The navy will be equiped to protect the pipelines.So l implore them to wait for the incoming President before taking up arms against the state.
