ICC NOTE: Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria that the violence may end and God’s children may be rescued from both sides of the conflicts. 

8/9/2016 Nigeria (Christian Today) – The militant Christian group Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders (NDRC) has vowed that it will carry out reprisal attacks on Muslims and mosques in the Niger Delta region if Boko Haram fulfils a threat to kill Christians and burn down churches.

A spokesperson of the NDRC, W O I Izon-Ebi, said in a statement: “We want to alert Nigerians and the world that the Islamisation plot has been proven by the Boko Haram new leader Abu Masab el Barnaw that their new mission is to kill all Christians and burn down all churches.”

The statement added: “But, we want to warn them that we, the Niger Delta youths, in this 21st century will not accept killing of innocent Christians or burning of churches. That if they try it in the north or any part of Nigeria, we the Niger Delta youths will not see any Muslim or mosque in the Niger Delta”.

In a statement released by al Nabaa, an ISIS newspaper, al-Barnawi said that his organisation “remained a force to be reckoned with.”

He also warned that they have been actively recruiting those who share like minds to fight “Christianisation of society.”
