A militant group, the Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders, has issued a warning that it may resume attacks on oil facilities on September 31, 2017.
The Crusaders said the decision to resume hostilities followed what it termed failure of the federal government to address issues raised during the visits of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to the region.
The militants in a statement signed by their spokesperson Izon Ebi, said they are not happy that the leadership of the country in the past and the present have not treated the Niger Delta well given the oil and gas resources accruing from the region.
The group said it believes in devolution of power, resource control and fiscal federalism as solutions to the problems facing the Niger Delta.
