LAGOS, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Nigerian federal government on Thursday reiterated its resolve to deal with the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), which attacks oil installations and other public properties, the Daily Independent newspaper reported on Friday.

Lucky Ararile, the amnesty panel coordinator, told reporters in Abuja that the amnesty declared by President Umaru Yar'Adua has elapsed, adding that the government would react as appropriate if the group's threat is carried out.

Ararile said it would be foolish for any group to dare the federal might after its magnanimity, as doing so is suicidal.
