Militants Warn Buhari Against Attacks On Mrs Jonathan

Niger Delta militants have renewed their threat to blow up more oil facilities in the region, if the Federal Government does anything to hurt the former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan and the ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo.

In a statement, yesterday, the Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front (NDPDF), said, “Let me use this medium to warn the Federal Government that if anything should happen to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and his wife, President Muhammadu (Buhari) will see our true colours.”

They also warned the Federal Government to drop the charges against the former militant leader.

It would be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), had since February, 2016, declared Tompolo wanted over an alleged N45.9billion fraud, and charged him to court in absentia.

The NDPDF leader, simply called Playboy, warned the Federal Government to leave Tompolo and any indigene from the oil-rich region alone.

The militant leader condemned the raid of Gbaramatu Kingdom by soldiers, and said government must apologise to Tompolo over the death of his father.

He said, “You (Federal Government) are coming to Gbaramatu Kingdom in search of militants; how many communities in the North-East have you raided in search of Boko Haram?

“We have said it before now that we will not stop bombing until the Federal Government drops charges against Tompolo and any indigene of Niger Delta, and apologise to Tompolo over the death of his father, who soldiers have killed,” he added.
