Punch Interview: The 5,000 fighters ready to evict Hausa, Yoruba —Niger Delta agitators
The leader of the Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators, John Duku, tells The Punch why his group issued a notice to quit to Yoruba and northerners in the oil-rich region, among other issues
Why did the Coalition of the Niger Delta Agitators choose October 1 as the deadline for Yoruba and Hausa to leave the Niger Delta region? Does it have anything to do with independence day?
Yes! We are aware that it is the day that Nigeria marks its independence, but that is also the day the northern youths (chose when they) issued their notice to quit to the Igbo.

We feel that the notice to quit given to the Igbo was also given to us in Niger Delta.
