Bayelsa: Sacked David Lyon, Tension As Ex-Militant leaders dare RNDA over threat of violence

By Steve  Seigha,

Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Militant leaders have challenged faceless militant group, the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers ( RNDA) to desist from threatening to attack oil facilities over sacking of Chief David Lyon by supreme Court on his deputy governor’s forged certificate.

Arising from an emergency security meeting Thursday morning in a statement signed by the group spokesman, Ex- Gen. Ebiokpo Mulaowei, warned ” Those miscreants who are threatening the newly sworn-in Bayelsa executive governor, Chief Douye Diri to bomb oil facilities over Supreme court judgment of sacking Chief David Lyon. We advised such faceless group to desist from their threat as we will not only expose them. But we must trail them by working with relevant security authorities to get them arrested and prosecute such persons to teach as a deterrent to others.

” Senator Douye Diri is not from Ghana or Cameroon that would make any right thinking person to issue a threat of violence of his electoral victory through supreme Court judgment.  Governor Douye Diri is a bonafide son of Ijaw in Bayelsa state and we will not fold out hands and allow miscreants to threaten his emergence as executive governor of Bayelsa state through a due legal process. We will expose you and your sponsors to the relevant authorities for trying to make the Governor Douye Diri led administration ungovernable.

* We appeal to the public to ignore the rantings of such faceless militant group who are  being used by Politicians to breach the peace of the state as security operatives have placed them  and their co-sponsors on red alert.” He said.
