We are continuing with our attacks on oil facilities and oil workers in the next few days. We will act without further warning.

Our anticipated strikes may commence in various locations of the Niger delta from this weekend in order to meet our anticipated target of a 30 percent cut in Nigeria's export capabilities for the month of February.

Shell employees will pay a terrible price for the use of Shell facilities in the attack of communities in the Niger delta.

There is great anger this time owing to the loss of lives in communities attacked by the choppers. We have very little regard for the lives of these hostages as we have lost a number of civilians in these raids.

Anyone captured after this, as will surely be the case, will not be so lucky. These oil workers will soon understand that they don't stand a chance relying on the promises of safety by the Nigerian government and military.

The hostages are so far in good health. They have been scattered around communities.

Eventually they will be released, but our conditions will be met.

We are going to continue with the destruction of oil facilities in Delta state while concluding arrangements for our wider attacks on the entire region.

That the Nigerian military has been preparing for weeks only for their incompetence to be revealed in mere minutes is enough warning to oil companies and their workers that they stand no chance against any of our units in the event of an attack.
