“The military will employ all available means and measures within its Rule of Engagement to crush any individual or group that engages in the destruction of strategic assets and facilities of the government in the Niger Delta or any other location and they will stand to regret the consequences of their actions.

“The whole world has seen what they are causing in terms of economic terrorism against the nation and would be treated as criminals in line with the laws of the land.

He said that while the military and the other security agencies would take proactive measures to fish out those behind the attacks, efforts would be made protect the installations and law abiding citizens of the area.
