Buhari threatens to deal with Niger Delta militants over renewed vandalization of oil pipeline



Following the renewed incidents of pipeline
vandalism in the Niger Delta, President Buhari
has threatened to deal decisively with those
behind the act. According to a statement by
the senior Special Assistant to Buhari on
Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, Buhari
made the threat while speaking with Nigerians
residing in Dubai earlier today.
While stating that the Nigerian Armed Forces
had already dealt “deadly blows” on Boko
Haram, Buhari said the activities of oil thieves
and vandals would soon be brought to an end
“The oil thieves and abductors are a less
problematic target. We will re-organise
and deal with them,” he was quoted as
saying.
In the same vein, he warned
telecommunication companies operating in
Nigeria not to place their desire for huge
profits above the security needs of the
country. He said all telecommunication
companies operating in Nigeria must adhere
to the rules and guidelines of the Nigerian
Communications Commission in this
regard. He spoke on his administration's war
against corruption.
