Some Niger Delta militant groups have pledged their unflinching support for the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, over his decision to boycott the coming governorship election in Anambra state November this year.
Report from The Nation says that the groups, Niger Delta People Democratic Front (NDPDF), Concerned Militant Leaders (CML) and Rainbow Marabas Squad (RMS) disclosed that they are unhappy over what happened in May 30, 2016, when soldiers allegedly opened fire and massacred harmless and innocent IPOB members on a peaceful protest.
The leaders of the groups, General Ben (CML), General Playboy (NDPDF) and General Aneaja (RMS), through a statement they issued online after their meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, demanded for justice for the victims of the May 30, 2016, Biafra Day celebration killings.
The Convener of the meeting, General Ben said:
“Federal Government should address the injustice meted out to innocent and harmless IPOB members, while celebrating Biafra Day. The election in Anambra state should not hold and will not hold. That injustice must first be addressed before any election will take place.
“Southern political leaders, who are romancing with Federal Government to truncate and jeopardize Biafra struggle because of the selfish aggrandizement, will live to regret their actions because, we will not forget them.
“Any attempt by Federal Government to take us for granted, should be resisted. We advise Anambrarians to boycott that election. Any person that flouts our order does that at his or her peril. Nobody is our target, but don’t make yourself our target.”
