Breaking News - MEND Camps under Heavy Attacks!!!

Press Release published by on Wednesday, May 13, 2009.

At about 0930 Hrs today, May 13, 2009, the Nigerian armed forces launched an
unprovoked attack on two major MEND camps in Delta state hoping to overwhelm them
with the element of surprise.

Unfortunately for the raiders, we were waiting for them. A bloody battle is on-going
and two gunboats belonging to the army have already been sunk by mines with several
casualties on the side of the army.

All freedom fighters in the Niger Delta have been placed on alert to defend their
positions and unleash a horrible toll on the oil industry and the Nigerian economy.

Update on Fighting (2)

Press Release published by on Sunday, May 17, 2009.

Sunday, May 17, 2009 revealed the desperation of the Nigerian armed forces in a war
it has no way of winning when the world witnessed indiscriminate use of missiles and
bombs on several defenseless Ijaw communities in Delta state. This is the height of
cowardice.

At one point we began wondering if the pilots had problems with the calibration of
their weapons. It is now evident that sheer resentment of a people waking up to
claim what has been stolen for five decades was the cause.

To make matters worse, the Nigerian government, aware of the consequences of its

JTF Attack Claims

Press Release published by on Sunday, May 31, 2009.

The leader of a small group of fighters around the Buguma creek axis in Rivers
state, Egbele has confirmed that there was no attack in his camp as claimed by the
military JTF.

He said they actually asked him to cooperate by giving the impression his camp has
been over-run.

This is surely a dubious sign of desperation.

give them instant jungle justice.

The Attack on Chevrons Otunana Flow Station

Press Release published by on Wednesday, June 10, 2009.

We found it amusing to read the feeble and unconvincing statement by the military
JTF spokesman, Col Rabe Abubakar over the Tuesday attack on the Otunana flow
station.

His explanations about an accident in an unused flow station is understandably to
cover their shame and shock that in spite of all that show of force, the security in
place can be easily breached.

This man and his boss, General Bello, are misleading the public with lies. He did a
similar thing after the skirmish on May 13, when he denied there were casualties on
his side only to admit it later.

Chevron JV Gas & Crude Oil Pipelines attacked!

Press Release published by on Friday, June 12, 2009.

At about 1800 Hrs, today, June 12, 2009, when Matthew Maguire was being handed over
in Rivers state, a major gas pipeline manifold and another major crude oil pipeline
belonging to Chevron JV recently repaired at a sum of over $56 million were both
blown up after another "system failure" caused by a passing Hurricane Piper Alpha.

The pipelines are located just 200 meters from the abandoned Camp 5 in Delta state
where the army is supposedly in control. The pipelines were due for re-commissioning
so as it stands we are back to square one.

Chevrons Safety Standards

Press Release published by on Saturday, June 13, 2009.

The spokesman of the military Joint task Force (JTF), Colonel Rabe Abubakar was
quick to blame a "systems failure" as the reason for the recent fire outbreak at the
dormant Otunana flow station belonging to Chevron Nigeria Ltd.

This is an indictment of a poor safety standard of Chevron which if it were to be
the case, all its flow stations and work complexes would need a thorough safety
inspection as the company by its negligence as the JTF asserts would be putting
workers at risk.

Chevron has not yet confirmed or denied the real cause of the Otunana fire and that
