Shoprite and about 16 other companies if the Federal Government refuses to shut
them down within one month.

The coalition which consist of three groups released statement
yesterday. The statement reads:

“Arising from the
joint meeting of the Niger Delta Watchdogs, Niger Delta Volunteers and Niger
Delta Strike Force held today (Wednesday) in Port Harcourt, we condemn the
recent attack on Nigerians in South Africa.

“We want to state that
the recent attack (on Nigerians in South Africa) will mark the end of this
nonsense because we will not fold our arms and allow this to continue.

“We, therefore, call
on the Nigerian Government to immediately close down all the businesses owned
by South Africans in Nigeria.

“Failure to close down
these companies within one month, we shall mobilise in full force and commence
massive attack on the above mentioned South African-owned investments in
Nigeria.

“We shall also make
sure that all MTN masts and offices are brought down to naught.

“We shall strike any
property and persons from South Africa within our reach; we will bring down
Multichoice (DSTV), Shoprite and others.

“We will not fold our
arms and watch you (South Africans) slaughter our people like chickens for no
just cause.

“We are fully
prepared; our professional fighters are already strategizing, South Africans
must be crushed in Nigeria; our people must be free from these wicked agents.”
