Leaked Memo Reveals MASSOB Alliance With Niger Delta Militants

Is there a connection between Niger Delta militants and indigenous people of Biafra activists? SaharaReporters journalists, who obtained a confidential memorandum of the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), say yes.
The newspaper reports on a leaked memorandum of the NSA allegedly revealing the “subversive activities” of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), noting their probable alliance with unnamed Niger Delta militants.

The memo also emphasizes that the operations are conformed with the NSA’s directives affirming the alleged actions. It references “Special Operations covering the South-East (SE) and the South-South (SS) Geo-political zones” by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The document describes conversations between NSA officials, Niger Delta militant leaders and stakeholders. Among those mentioned were King Dodo II of the Bilabiri Mein Kingdom of Bayelsa State, who “acted as an intermediary between the NSA Team and a Militant Group known as Die Bullet Proof,” and the “Ebiril Group.”
Citing the memorandum, these groups “control the axis of Azagbene/Egbemo-Anagalbiri territory in Bayelsa State.” Besides, it indicates the concurrence of the special operations with intensification of pro-Biafra demonstrations in the Southern States at particular dates.
The NSA memo also sought authorization to negotiate a deal with these militant groups which included the “release of their members arrested by OP PULO SHIELD and currently detained in Okaka prison” and the rehabilitation of “78 members of the Group in a programme to be mutually agreed on by both parties.”
