MEND Statement on Agip attack: February 8 2012

Note:  This is the last in a series of three emails from "Jomo Gbomo" on the Agip (NAOC) pipeline attack (February 4,6,8).  While the first came from a different email address, this and the previous one are from a gmail address.  The quality of diction and tone suggests a minor spokesman.  See earlier postings entitled "MEND Statement."

Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (M.E.N.D)

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) advises Nigerians to disregard the pathetic attempt at propaganda by a very unintelligent spokesperson of the Joint Task Force (JTF), Col Timothy Antigha. As confirmed in early 2011, all statements posted on Sahara reporters and the times of Nigeria websites are authentic MEND statements.

Just as Goodluck Jonathan attempted to blame our bomb attacks of 1 October, 2010, on northern politicians, it is very convenient for the Nigerian government to again frame innocent people. We hope the government of Nigeria has apprehended all persons declared wanted as in the next few weeks we will carry our more serious attacks on the Nigerian oil industry. Then, we wonder what tales the daft spokesman for the Nigerian military will have for the media.
