A coalition of militant groups in Niger Delta has vowed to cripple oil installations in the region if the Federal Government fails to inaugurate the substantive board of the Niger Delta Development Commission after seven days.

They asked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, to caution the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and his cronies to order and immediately constitute the board to avert the looming huge blow on crude oil production. While supporting the ongoing protest of the Ijaw Youths Council, Worldwide, the militants said after the ultimatum, they would shut down the Escravos-Warri to Kaduna NNPC major delivery crude line, the Escravos Lagos Atlas Cove and the Trans-Escravos Warri-Kaduna gas line supplying electricity to Abuja.

The statement read, “If Akpabio refuses to yield to this noble piece of advice and still goes against the common interest of the Niger Delta people and decide to continue to hold the entire Niger Delta region to ransom and refuse to let go his grip, the economic consequences of our planned action should be on him.
