Popular militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, has announced its return to the creeks and threatened to cripple Nigeria’s economy.
In a statement on Saturday, the militant group said it had launched ‘Operation Humble’ which is targeted at destroying oil facilities and crippling the Nigerian economy.
It also threatened to attack politicians who are working with the Federal Government “to undermine the Niger Delta region”.
The group claimed that it has renewed hostility because the government has failed to meet its demand, and has also failed to dialogue with the group.
It added that all oil installation within the Niger Delta region have been marked for destruction in the coming days until the government answer its request.
According to the group, it has lost confidence in Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), which played a critical role to make the group accept a ceasefire in 2017.
