Pipeline
attacks and violence have been on the rise in the southern swampland since
authorities issued an arrest warrant in January for a former militant leader on
corruption charges.
"I
hope this message will reach the vandals and saboteurs who are blowing up
pipelines and installations. We
will deal with them the way we dealt with Boko Haram," Buhari said during
a visit to China, referring to jihadists who have been waging an insurgency to
set up an Islamic state in the north." he said.
You would recall that Buhari has extended a
multimillion-dollar amnesty signed with militants in 2009, but he has upset
them by ending generous pipeline protection contracts. The militants, like other
Delta residents, demand a greater share of oil revenues.
A word is enough for the wise (and the foolish that don't want to perish suddenly).
