“We have remained quiet all along for strategic reasons and to clear any doubt that the Federal Government or their partners in crimes, the oil multinationals, had cut down our comrades in the struggle,” the groups spokesperson, Gen. Aldo Agbalaja said.
The group also condemned some leaders in the region, whom they accused of using the region’s problems to enrich themselves.
