The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) says that beginning on Friday, May 31, it will embark on a crusade to save the Christianity in Nigeria from annihilation.
To be called “Operation Barbarossa,” MEND said its campaign will comprise bombing of mosques, hajj camps, Islamic institutions, large congregations in Islamic events and assassinations of clerics.”
The declaration is
contained in a statement said today signed by Jomo Gbomo.
It said the campaign will not in any way interfere with the ongoing “Hurricane Exodus” which it said yesterday swept through the Ewellesuo community, Nembe, Bayelsa State, leaving in its wake the destruction of well 62, belonging to Shell Petroleum.
That claim was however promptly rebutted today by the Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Pulo Shied in Niger Delta, which asserted that MEND was not responsible for the attack on oil facilities which led to the latest oil spill.
In a statement in Yenagoa, Lt. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, spokesman of Operation Pulo shield, said that the spill had been traced to the activities of oil thieves at Nembe community in Bayelsa State.
