MEND’s purported release code named “Dragon War”, which went viral on Sunday June 13th 2021, shortly after the Fulani Jihadists dropped theirs, reads: “We don’t make cheap our threats. We have shutdown the country and we can at anytime shut you down.
“We are the Niger Delta, we stand for the interest of the Niger Delta and we will not allow any coward threaten us. We fight without running”.
The statement titled:
“RESPONSE TO THE FULANI THREAT TO OKOWA ON OPEN GRAZING BAN BY THE SOUTHERN GOVERNORS”, disclosed that if one soul dies, 10 fulani lives would be used as sacrifice for that one soul.
“The attention of the Movement for the Emancipation and the Defence of the Niger Delta has been brought to the threat of some Fulani terrorists who have given a 3 days warning to the Governor of Delta State because of his support for the ban of open grazing across the Southern State.
“We also saw your taking responsibility for an explosion at the Secretariat in Asaba.
“We are warning that if your threat is made to come to fulfilment, no Fulani will ever exist across the Niger Delta and all oil facilities linked to a Fulani will be brought down.
“If one soul is lost, Ten Fulani souls will pay for it. If one Facility is destroyed, Ten Fulani facilities will be destroyed. We will respond proportionately ten times whatever you give.
“The corresponding response will not be limited to the Delta, It may be with your politicians or with your rulers.
“We will launch three rocket launchers and ballistic missiles at any facility of our choice as a warning in seven days if you make bold your threats”, the warning threat, added.
The ban on open grazing, also known as Asaba Declaration, was reached by the southern governors with Okowa, as their host.
Meanwhile, great fear has gripped Deltans as youths, men and women gathers in cluster discussing the Jihadists threat.
