Militants want oil companies to vacate Akwa Ibom.
Multinational oil companies operating in Akwa Ibom have been asked to vacate the state immediately by the militants under the control of Unyekisong.
According to the joint statement released on Sunday by the state capital Leader of the group, Gen. Dede Udofia and Maj. Ibanga Ekang said the atrocities perpetrated by the multinational oil companies on oil-producing communities is becoming worrisome hence the reason for the notice.
According to The Nation, Unyekisong Akwa Ibom is a coalition of freedom fighters in Akwa Ibom State comprising former members of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Movement for the Actualisation of the Niger Delta Republic, Niger Delta People’s Salvation Force, Niger Delta Avengers, Niger Delta Liberation Force and Niger Delta Movement for Justice and Niger Delta Warriors
The group expressed their displeasure about what they described as the passive response of the current administration in the state to the constant cries and yearning of the masses “from these communities whose sources of livelihood, property and lives have been destroyed as a result of the operations of these oil firms.”
