The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has observed with
dismay the unpatriotic attacks on the nation’s economic lifeline in the Niger
Delta. These attacks were carried out by some criminal elements who are bent on destroying the nation’s
strategic assets which will no longer be tolerated.
The recent attacks on an oil facility in Delta
state is a pointer to this direction. For the avoidance of doubt, the DHQ warns
these criminal elements to desist from
these unwholesome act of economic sabotage in the Niger Delta region for the
overall benefits of the country.
Consequently, any individual or group of
persons who engage in any act of sabotage to the nation’s strategic assets will
face the full weight of the law as the military and other security agencies
will ensure total protection of such facilities wherever they are in line with
our constitutional mandate.
The security of the strategic assets and any
other facilities is a collective responsibilities of every patriotic and law
abiding citizen especially the locals close to such valuable infrastructure. The DHQ urges all to cooperate with the military and other security agencies
and report suspected individuals or groups for prompt action.
The DHQ will continue to maintain a peaceful
environment for economic activities to thrive while requesting law abiding
citizens to go about their legitimate businesses.
