Adaka Boro Avengers (ABA) said on Sunday that it had
concluded arrangements with other militant groups to declare the Niger Delta
region an independent republic on August 1. The militant group also gave the
Federal Government an ultimatum to withdraw its personnel and establishment
from the region before the date of its declaration of independence.
It also ordered all northerners and people of the South West
to vacate its territory. ABA, in a statement issued by General Edmos Ayayeibo,
its spokesperson, mandated the Federal Government to use the three weeks’
notice to “move out all military personnel and all government agencies out of
the Niger Delta,” and warned that “failure will lead to destruction of military
barracks and personnel.”
“We, the Adaka Boro Avengers and all the freedom fighters in
the Niger Delta region have met and come to a conclusion that we are declaring
the Niger Delta Republic three weeks from today July 18, 2016. “So we are by
this notice calling on the Nigerian government to move out all military
personnel and all government agencies out of the Niger Delta. Failure will lead
to destruction of military barracks and personnel.
“We are, also, by this notice calling on our fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters living in the northern parts of Nigeria to return
home immediately. “We are also warning northerners and westerners to leave the
Niger Delta region immediately within three weeks from now, for their own good.
“If they refuse to heed to our warning, we will use so many
as example in the Niger Delta region on the due date. “We are telling the
Nigerian government that enough is enough and we are taking our independence by
force. We have our foreign backers, so we are not afraid of the Nigerian
government but ready for total war.
“The inhuman treatment given to us by Nigerian government is enough. We can no longer withstand the suffering of our Niger Delta people. They should not take us for fools.”
