Buhari's "Emotional Imbalance" intensifies as Red Egbesu Water Lions, a new Niger Delta militant group in sympathy with Biafra emerges. Demands Nnamdi Kanu's release

While defending his nonchalant attitude towards the rescue of Chibok girls, General Muhammadu Buhari stated that discussing the topic affects his emotional balance, thereby revealing the fragile state he is currently. Among the things causing Buhari's emotional imbalance is Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu, which made him recently declare that he would lead every Nigerian to mass suicide in the sea, when Biafra comes. Niger Delta Avenger have also seriously triggered Buhari's emotional imbalance. Therefore, it won't be out of place to suggest that the emergence of the Red Egbesu Water Lions, a new militant group in the Niger Delta region will be wreaking terrible havoc on Buhari's emotional balance.

This is coming on the heels of Tuesday night explosion that affected  the Sagbama-Tuomo gas line, belonging to Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), at Ogbembiri, Southern Ijaw local government area of Bayelsa State.

A security source, who confirmed the explosion, said: “Ogbembiri is a border town between Bayelsa and Delta states. They destroyed the Ayama section of the Ogboinbiri-Tuomo gas pipeline with dynamites at about 9.00 pm on Tuesday. That line was earlier repaired, last week and again vandalized.

“We, however, suspect that dispute over the surveillance contract led to the attack. The Agip pipeline links major oil facilities in Delta and Bayelsa States,” he added. 

Vanguard reports that the new militant group in a statement by its Creek Network Coordinator, “General” Torunanawei Latei, said it was teaming up with the Niger Delta Avengers and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). 

It issued the Nigerian government a seven-day ultimatum to release Nnamdi Kanu, former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki and direct EFCC to defreeze the bank accounts of ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupol, alias Tompolo. 

It threatened to shut down all oil exploration activities in the Niger Delta at the expiration of the ultimatum and also demanded “unconditional immediate payment to victims of the Bonga Oil Spill and Chevron gas explosion in Koluama, Bayelsa state.” 

“It is extremely important to note that the engine room of the national interest is the executive obedience to court orders, protection and preservation of citizens’ constitutional liberties. Justification of executive disobedience to court orders as a protection of national interest is abominable. 

“This is a deliberate ploy to bend the law and suspend the 1999 Constitution. We ask, does President Muhammadu Buhari have any legal capacity to declare anyone as a criminal? Disobedience to court orders is an act of executive rascality in the country,” the group added.
