International Guardian – Houston, TX.
Reliable sources in Aso Rock, seat of Nigeria’s presidency confided that a total lack of internal security apparatus has grounded the President, restricting his movement around the country. Buhari was expected visit to the Niger Delta—a major oil-producing region in Nigeria—on Thursday to inaugurate a $1 billion cleanup facility in areas affected by oil spills, but snappishly cancelled the trip, sending the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
While no official reason has been given so for the cancellation, International Guardian reliable gathered that Nigerian security forces are currently not well-equipped to defend the President, especially in the areas currently threatened by militants and hostile protesters. A brand new revolutionary group, the Niger Delta Avengers, has currently overrun the Delta at unrestricted capacity, carrying out multiple attacks on oil pipelines and facilities run by international companies in recent months.
Niger Delta Avengers had threatened to kill Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari if he visited. Confided a source close to Aso Rock, “these guys are equipped with sophisticated arms; they know the area, and they are good in the sea; and at this time, our security forces don’t even know what they have, and this is a major concern. We just want to be on the safe side.”
Another source told International Guardian that Buhari’s hasty decision was borne out of intelligence report linked to security threats from both Niger Delta militants and pro-Biafra activists. “I can’t tell you everything right now, but just know that we are facing security challenges. We have little or nothing to fight with and risking the life of the President would not have been a good idea.”
The Buhari’s regime, it may be recalled has faced tremendous challenges procuring arms to fight overbearing security threats. Western powers have been skeptical selling arms to a country with high records of human rights abuse, and parades notoriously known security forces that might use the defense technology to tyrannize helpless citizens.
Nigeria might be spiritually haunted by the blood of Biafra’s genocide victims
Buhari’s cancellation was obvious, and expected. With an ill-equipped security forces, safety in the Delta region has totally collapsed to the militants who parade the region with sophisticated ammunitions, including fully equipped sea-assault equipment, surface-to-surface and ground-to-air missiles capable of taking down any air craft or target.
Earlier on Thursday, the day President Buhari would have visited, the group launched new attacks, vowing to bring Nigeria’s struggling oil industry to a total halt. The Nigerian army confirmed the attack, and reported that about six people were also killed on Wednesday when militants ambushed a boat belonging to state oil firm, The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in the Warri area. Earlier on Thursday, the group said it had attacked two crude pipelines operated by Italy’s ENI. “At about 2:00am today @NDAvengers blew up the Ogboinbiri to Tebidaba and Clough Creek to Tebidaba Crude Oil pipelines in Bayelsa State,” the group said on Twitter.
Why would Nigeria be hunted by blood of Biafria. Are we supposed to let the stupid people invade our country without any response. Only fools pick up a fight with people bigger and stronger than them, which was exactly what the Biafrians did. I hope they were taught a good lesson, and they can keep on soaking, and licking their wounds.
