A Niger Delta militant group, the Concerned Militant
Leaders, CML, has warned that no other separatist
group will negotiate with the Federal Government until
issues in the South South region are addressed,
stressing that more attacks should be expected.
The group issued the warning while confirming the
capture of a vessel with Liberian flag along Bakassi
Peninsula of Nigerian waterways.
They warned that no militant group should dialogue
with the Federal Government, until it addressed the
agitations of the Niger Delta agitators, particularly the
release of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), which CML, in particular, said it's concerned
about.
Disclosing the details of the seized vessel,
spokesperson of CML, General Ben, in a statement said,
“The vessel has the following details (excluding crew
onboard), MMSI: 636015354; IMO: 9113551; gross
tonnage: 25,202; Country Flag, Liberia; Crude oil tanker
and Pilot, Captain Marcus.”
Ben further added, “This is the worst government we
have had since this democratic dispensation. People
are suffering and dying out of hardship and government
does not want to listen to the grievances of our people.
“There is no time again for negotiation with any
government, and no group, even the Niger Delta
Avengers (NDA), should not do that. Government
should wait for us and expect more pipeline attack.”
