ATHE Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta, MEND, has threatened to resume hostilities following its dissatisfaction with thealleged position of the Federal Government that over 100 Boko Haram members arrested for bombing Police Headquarters in Abuja, would not be prosecuted, while HenryOkah, his brother, Charles Okah and other persons arrested under the guise of being members of MEND werebeing prosecuted.
MEND in a statement by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, said it “views with scorn the recent statement by the security services spokeswoman, Mrs Marilyn Ogar, that the over 100 Boko Haram members recently arrested in connection to the police headquarters bombing in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja will not be prosecuted but will be resolved politically”.
According to the spokesman, “MEND is preparing very hard for the resumption of hostilities with the training of new fighters joining our various camps and promises that the results will be felt both nationally and internationally, very soon”.
“This is a blatant disregard to all Christians in Nigeria killed with impunity and also an insult to all NigerDeltans as the government is displaying double standards as regards the Niger Delta indigenes falsely and unlawfully arrested overthe October 1st bomb blast carried out by our field operatives.(vanguard newspaper)
