Biafra Nations League, BnL has banned oil firms, foreign traders from drilling, business activities in Bakassi Peninsula until it reaches agreement with Biafran agitators, giving them two weeks to comply with terms and conditions or shutdown operation completely in the Gulf of Guinea, Operational coordinator of BnL, Henry Edet, gave the warning after a brief meeting of BnL in Idabato subdivision of Bakassi Peninsula on Sunday.

Edet said BnL reached a decision to shut down international trade at sea because the dealers are paying taxes to Nigeria and Cameroon, noting that the owners of the land are not benefitting anything from drilling of oil and international trade at sea...he warned that the Idabato high sea will be blocked completely.

He declined to speak on the recent bombings and clashes between the militant groups the Black Marine, Dragon Marine and Joint Border Forces in the Gulf of Guinea.

BnL have also warned that the group will not tolerate presence of armed securities in the Peninsula, insisting that both Nigeria and Cameroon should withdraw it's troops completely from the Peninsula.

According to Edet, “BnL isn’t going to tolerate any armed forces in our territory, Bakassi is our national headquarters and we are completely in charge, any external body still having their forces here will be dealt with.”
