The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, has claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack on former militant leader,Eris Paul a.k.a Ogunboss and his 20 police escorts.
Jomo Gbomo, MEND's spokesperson said the police boats were providing security to a former militant leader, Eris Paul, whom MEND classified a traitor.
"Ogunboss and several others now hiding in the cities, sold their birth rights for contracts and political appointments to the detriment of a just cause. They are now persona non grata in the creeks, and their lives and ill-gotten properties have become subject to legitimate targets for destruction".
Gbomo quoted Nelson Mandela’s words, that "No self-respecting freedom fighter would take orders from a government he is fighting against or jettison a long-time ally in the interest of pleasing an antagonist", as justification for attack on Mr. Paul.
MEND also told the NNPC not to rejoice over the completion of repairs on the Escravos-Lagos gas pipeline attacked by Hurricane Exodus. "Nigerians should not expect improvement in power availability through gas pipelines until the root issues that led to militancy in the Niger Delta have been addressed or discussed", the Group said.
MEND also accused the authorities of the National Hospital, Abuja of manipulating the psychiatric evaluation report of its detained leader, Charles Okah.
