“The attention of the Movement for the Emancipation and the Defence of the Niger Delta, has been brought to the threat of some Fulani terrorists, who have given a 3 days warning to the Governor of Delta State, because of his support for the ban on open grazing across the Southern State.

“We also saw you taking responsibility for an explosion of the secretariat in Asaba.

“We are warning that if your threat is made to come to fulfillment, No Fulani, Fulani will ever exist across the Niger Delta, and all oil facilities linked to a Fulani will be brought down, if one soul is lost, then Fulani soul will pay for it.

“If one facility is destroyed, we will respond proportionately ten times whatever you give, the corresponding response will not be limited to the Delta, it may be with your politicians or with your rulers.

“We will launch three rockets launchers and ballistic missiles at any facility of our choice as a warning in seven days, if you make bold your threats.

“We don’t make cheap our threats. We have shut down the country and we can at any time shut you down. We are the Niger Delta and we will not allow any coward threaten us. We fight without running.”
