The militants had described the Niger Delta stakeholders meeting which held on Wednesday at Abuja as an insult.
“The Niger Delta stakeholders meeting is an insult to the people of the Niger Delta. What we need is a sovereign state, not pipeline contracts.
“To the International Oil Companies, IOCs and the Nigeria military, watch out, something big is about to happen and it would shock the whole world,” it tweeted.
The militants, on Tuesday, blew up Chevron’s main pipeline that supplies gas and provides electricity to the Escravos tank farm in Delta.
It has also claimed responsibility for most attacks on oil pipeline in Niger Delta and says it will destroy more till it gets a sovereign state.
“Despite the heavy presence of Military in the creeks, it will not stop us from carrying out our operations. We are ready to destroy more pipelines, we won’t only destroy pipelines, but will bring the fight to your tank farm and your Headquarters in Lekki, Lagos,” NDA says.
