Subject: Nigerian military faulse claim
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D) denies in its totality claims by the Nigerian military and government that a co-ordinated attack was launched against one of our camps by the Nigerian military in Rivers state in the Niger Delta. It is a well known fact that the Nigerian military berets of such capabilities or imagination. This amusing claim must have been extracted from a war novel.
The truth is that the individual concerned known to the group as Commander Obese was contacted by President Goodluck Jonathan and a former MEND Commander Farah Dagogo. Jonathan pleaded with this junior Commander to save him (Jonathan) from further shame and urged Obese to emerge from the Creeks and encourage others to do likewise in exchange for a huge amount of money and immunity from prosecution.
Most of the fighters attached to this individual rejected this offer which this junior Commander was mislead into accepting.
There was no exchange of gunfire and these individuals handed themselves over to the military in expectance of a reward as promised by Jonathan.
Weapons surrendered by these persons were less than thirty (30) in number. Items displayed by the Nigerian military did not come from that camp. This was staged.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has vowed and will expose Goodluck Jonathan for the fraud that he. Jonathan is a Wimp who cannot even contain his domestic problems so how then can Nigerians expect this Spineless stooge to contain an insurgence in the Niger Delta.
We promise to the people of the Niger Delta to bring oil companies operating in Nigeria to their knees and reclaim all lands stolen from the people of the Niger Delta.
