Niger Delta Avengers, a militant group which operated in 2016 has made a come back.
The group which crippled Nigeria’s economy in 2016 by attacking oil facilities in the region which plunged the nation into recession announced a return on Saturday.
In a statement made available to newsmen, the militant group said it had launched ‘Operation Humble’ aiming at crippling the economy as it did in previous times.
The group vowed to clamp down on politicians who are working with the Federal Government “to undermine the Niger Delta region”.
“It is disheartening that despite being the economic backbone and having resolved to maintain the peaceful environment for the smooth operations of the oil multinationals whose proceeds the country cling unto for economic survival, the Niger Delta and the South-South remain the most underdeveloped, with our needs and interests undermined by the failed Nigerian State”, the statement said.
