XMAS BOMBING: NIGER DELTA MILITANTS BEGIN ATTACK ON MUSLIMS

A Niger Delta Militant Group under the aegis of Joint Revolutionary Council bombed an Islamic School in Sapele, Delta State, injuring about six Children in an apparent retaliation of Boko Haram’s Christmas Day Bombing that killed over Thirty Catholic faithful of the St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State.

The Niger Delta Militant Group had warned that it will carry out a retaliatory attack against Muslims in the Southern Nigeria if Boko Haram fails to stop attack on Christians in the North.
The group warned Southern leaders not to condemn it action saying, “any southerner that speaks evil against us will be violently visited by us because they too are in support of the killing of southerner by Boko Haram.” According to a statement made available to Pointblanknews.com after the attack on the Sapele Islamic School, the group which preferred to be called Egbesu Mightier Fraternity warned that it will continue to hunt down Muslims in the Southern Nigeria until Boko Haram stop the killings and bombing of churches in the North. “The Boko Haram killings in the north will no longer be accepted and we are ready to equally kill any Muslim we see in southern Nigeria. We gave this warning since October this year if Boko Haram will not stop killing any southerner we will also kill until they (Boko Haram) stop killing because no part of this country is constitutionally empowered to kill any Nigerian,” the group said in a statement jointly signed by its “Revolutionary Council.” According to the group, “the Sapele killing in Delta State yesterday night was carried out by us(Egbesu Mightier Fraternity) even the ones of Warri and Sapele on the 8th and 10th of December respectively was carried out by us.”
“We will continue to kill. We have warned time without number that they should leave the southern states immediately. We will not regret any soul that will go on the part of any Muslim in the south,” the group said.
The Delta state police command through its Public Relations Officer, Charles Muka, confirmed the Sapele bombing. Muka said a low capacity bomb was thrown by unknown persons on a motorbike. He confirmed that six children were injured and are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed nearby Hospital in Sapele.
