Katsina Shiites Raise Alarm over Military Intimidation

The Defence Headquarters has promised to deal decisively with any group in the Niger Delta intent on fomenting trouble in the region.This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar.Abubakar said that the DHQ is adequately ready to crush any such group, and that they would regret their actions.“The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) is not unaware of the emergence of a group in the Niger Delta region who have vowed to cripple economic activities through pipeline vandalism, oil theft and kidnap of expatriate workers in that region; it will not hesitate to deploy every available resources to deal decisively with any threat to the economic lifeline of the nation.“The military will employ all available means and measures within its rule of engagement to crush any individual or group that engages in the destruction of strategic assets and facilities of the government in the Niger Delta or any other location and they will stand to regret the consequences of their actions. The whole world has seen what they are causing in terms of economic terrorism against the nation and would be treated as criminals in line with the laws of the land,” he said.Abubakar also urged community leaders and traditional rulers to cooperate with security agencies in their effort in apprehending the culprits.“While the military and other security agencies would continue to embrace more proactive measures within the creeks and other places to fish out those responsible for the heinous crime, it will remain focused and assure oil companies and law abiding community members of their safety and protection of their sanctity.“The DHQ advises the community leaders, Traditional Rulers and the general public to cooperate with the security agencies to ensure the apprehension of the culprits for the interest of our great nation, as no individual or group interest is above the national interest of this country.”
