Militants hit oil facilities in S

The Avengers have used a Twitter account as its main form of communication, using it to publicise claims of attacks and as a platform to criticise Nigeria’s government.

It has also called for self-determination for the delta region. They kill soldiers and policemen.

“They blow up oil pipelines, power and other infrastructure”. Production that dropped to a 28-year low in May could be further stymied by a strike that began Thursday, with senior oil workers protesting job losses and delays to new energy legislation.

The Niger Delta Avengers surfaced early this year, launching a militant campaign against national and global energy companies working in the Niger Delta.

Word surfaced last month of a 30-day truce between the government and the Niger Delta Avengers following talks apparently led by Nigerian Oil Minister Ibe Kachikwu. “All these for what”. “Niger Delta Avengers is not out to mislead the public as a result we are closing all our Social network accounts and will be using our websites to pass information to the general public”. In those days, we never thought of oil, all we were concerned of is one Nigeria. Just as he did in the case of the Ogoni clean-up exercise, President Buhari by these two epochal acts has once more vindicated our earlier declaration that he is a true son of the Niger Delta region.

According to Vanguard, Abdullahi Muhammadu said the federal government chose the dialogue approach to end hostilities with the militants to get to the root of the problem.

The group said it was in the interest of all Nigerians to renegotiate the future unity of the country, as many Nigerians want a nation that reflects a true federal state and allows people to grow at their own pace.

Buhari while speaking during his sallah message said that keeping Nigeria united as one entity is a task that must be done.
