The Convener, Ex Niger Delta Militants Revolutionary Front, General<\/p>\n
JohnJohn Bosco Caterpillar, has declared that Nigeria will be forced to
\ndisintegrate if the current trend and wave of violence meted on the
\nnation’s minorities is not checked.<\/p>\n
The former militant who spoke with newsmen in an exclusive interaction,
\ncondemned the attack on minorities resident in the northern part of the
\ncountry whose business and livelihood have been cut short due to the
\nincessant violence and bomb blasts which have caused impromptu migrations
\nand made them refugees in their own country.<\/p>\n
Relating the recent wave of attacks by the northern extremists as planned
\nto destabilise the government of Goodluck Jonathan in a bid to discredit
\nit and also terrorise it, he said the Niger Delta militants who had
\nwillingly decided to surrender their armed struggle will soon be pushed
\nback into violence to defend their kith and kin.<\/p>\n
General Caterpillar further called on security agencies to apprehend the
\nleaders of the north who had through their various comments promoted
\nviolence and inhumanity perpetrated in the north.<\/p>\n
“We expect that by now the security agencies should have told us the
\nnumber of people they have arrested for crimes against the state like
\ninciting the people to violence, treason and even terrorism as they have
\nvariously supported terrorism and even called for violence through their
\ndeclaration”. He said.<\/p>\n
In his outburst he announced that the former militants were already
\nregrouping to go back to the creeks to wait for the reaction from the
\nnorth as well as the security agents who are expected to tame the north
\nand the nation’s provocateurs or else they were ready to continue their
\narmed struggle to emancipate the Niger Delta Region from oppression.<\/p>\n
“It has become obvious that war is inevitable because the north sees the
\ncountry as its property leaving others behind. This we will not accept, I
\nam hereby supporting my Igbo brothers who have called for self-defense.
\nLet everyone who has no form of defence mechanism go and fortify
\nthemselves immediately”. He sued.<\/p>\n
He further condemned the recent attack on the president’s convoy in Gombe
\nstate while also disapproving the silence and inaction that has followed
\nthe assassination attempt. According to him threats and violence has been
\nvisited on Niger Deltans and other minorities based on their decision to
\nsupport President Jonathan. Stating clearly that the north is tactically
\ndisenfranchising the Southerners.<\/p>\n
\u201cFew days ago the president’s convoy was nearly assassinated in Gombe
\nState, nobody said anything. Threats and violence has been visited on
\nsupporters of Goodluck Jonathan which clearly shows that the elections
\nhave already been rigged. Mr. President’s supporters are being forced out
\nof the north daily basis without their votes being transferred to their
\nhome states. This is systematic rigging and marginalisation and we won’t
\nsit back and allow our people suffer such injustice”. He informed.<\/p>\n
