MEND threatens to resume hostilities in N/Delta

The Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), on Thursday, in an online statement signed by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo and sent to the media, threatened to resume hostilities in the Niger Delta.

It also said it had begun re-training of new fighters in various camps, preparatory to the hostilities.

In the statement, MEND said it was unhappy to hear that suspected Boko Haram members arrested for the bombing of the Force headquarters in Abuja would not be prosecuted.

Reacting, spokesman of JTF, Lieutenant-Colonel Timothy Antigha, in Yena-goa, Bayelsa State, on Thur-sday, said the JTF would study the threat.
