Stop the new Niger Delta militant now.

The Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. – General Rabe Abubakar confirmed the directive handed down by the president while giving an interview on Saturday.

        “The President gave special instruction to the military, especially to the Chief of Naval Staff, that this ugly development of vandals in
the Niger Delta should end immediately,” a presidential aide said.

        “We have the order from the president and we are monitoring the activities of the new group. All efforts will be made to bring out those behind it,” the general said.
“The suspects who perpetrated the first vandalism were apprehended and paraded the day before yesterday.

The president has come under mounting pressure to deal with Delta militancy recently

“These ones are not going to be different. We are going out on our operation to stop and apprehend them in accordance with the presidential directive.”

“We are not deterred; nobody is happy about it but we are not deterred from doing what we are doing. And more proactive measures would be put in place.
