A major pipeline which delivers crude oil to the Brass export terminal was blown up
at the Nembe creek in Bayelsa state this morning Friday, June 19, 2009 at about
0300Hrs by heavily armed fighters from the Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta (MEND).

The pipeline belongs to Agip.

Our fighters encountered a military gunboat and all the soldiers numbering seven (7)
were dispossessed of their weapons. The gunboat was also stripped of its weapons
before it was disabled by explosives.

The soldiers pleaded for their lives to be spared and we did.

We want to use this opportunity to ask members of the public around the Bonny and
Port Harcourt axis to watch the video of the extra judicial killing by the JTF of
one Boma and his brother on You Tube to help trace the family and friends so as to
reveal the perpetrators of the criminal act who the JTF are covering for.

If soldiers who are supposed to protect civilians harass, rape and kill them, then
they should be exposed. We know that the military still has a few good God fearing
men who may recall the incident when the men were shot on a jetty where the JTF
gunboats are docked. Please come forward and expose the killers amongst you.
