A group of Niger Delta militants, the Supreme Egbesu Liberation Fighters, has threatened to renew hostilities, destroy infrastructure in Lagos and Abuja.
The threat was contained in a video posted on Tuesday by the Africa Independent Television (AIT).
In the video, the group accused the Nigerian government of marginalising the region and reneging on the amnesty programme.
Reading from a statement, a masked member of the group said there has been no meaningful development in the area since they accepted an amnesty programme offered by the government.
“Till date, there are no schools, no potable water, no light, no hospital and access roads for our people to enjoy,” he said.
