Description

The Odua Defenders’ Union, ODU, has described as an insult to the Yoruba race the recent threat by a new militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, to attack Lagos within a matter of days.
In a statement signed by its President-General, Rabak Anthony, the group warned that any attempt to launch any attack on Lagos would spell doom for the Ijaw militants.

“This threat that was published in all the media, both electronic and print, cannot be taken for granted.

“Therefore, the Yoruba are ready to make the first move against the Ijaws in Lagos before their ‘brothers’ will storm Lagos.

“We fought the Ijaws here in Lagos before because of this their arrogance and they know we are ready for them. They came here about five years ago also to attack the Atlas Cove where Naval officers guarding tank farms were killed.

“So, we are not taking this threat without preparation. We are ready, let them make the move,” the statement warned.

The Odua Defenders’ Union leader said its members were across the whole South-West and could deal with the militants’ threat.

IF GOVERNMENT DO NOT PUT MEASURES IN PLACE; THIS COULD ESCALATE TO A CONFLICT THAT MAY BE BEYOND THEM TO HANDLE. THIS SHOULD BE DEALT WITH AT THIS STAGE
