The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta
(MEND) has claimed responsibility for the recent
attack on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refinery in
Okrika, Rivers
State pipelines on Sunday been 18th May. In a
statement released today, the group said that this attack was in line with
their general strategy 'Huricane Exodus', Which aims to destabilize the whole
refining facility.
They said: “This facility was infiltrated by a few of our
fighters with the aid of our internal agents within the NNPC contrary to
speculations that the sabotage was carried out by “pipeline vandals and oil
thieves”, which is a very convenient phrase used in shielding the truth from
the public”,
“We will
persist with our attacks on the Nigerian
oil industry due to the
inaction of President Goodluck Jonathan who continues to rely on an
unsustainable and fraudulent Niger Delta Amnesty programme which is only a
guise to line the pockets of Goodluck Jonathan, his wife Patience, Jonathans
cronies and members of the
Amnesty Committee whose sudden wealth remains unchallenged by the Nigerian
media.”
They also revealed that the Amnesty process is a fraud meant
to deceive Nigerians that the Niger Delta is now peaceful.
