The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) in Bayelsa State has threatened to destroy oil pipelines in the state and called on construction giant, Daewoo Nigeria limited and other companies operating in the state to leave in their own interest.
The rebel group also accused the Federal Government of enriching some individuals and groups in the name of peace initiatives in the oil and gas region.
The dreaded group accused the Federal Government of conniving with some multinational companies to "illegally" export the nation's abundant oil and gas resources.
"When we have not resolved the oil exploitation matter then they want to ship our gas to overseas countries," Macaiva posited, saying, "We have vowed to sacrifice our lives."
