“We want Garba Shehu (Senior Special
Assistant to the president on Media and
Publicity) to go and get his record straight.
Niger Delta Avengers have not killed and
kidnapped oil workers, we are not into sea
piracy, and we have never killed Policemen.
The Buhari led Government knows the people
attacking soldiers and killing policemen. It’s
their sleeper’s agents that are doing it, so they
should stop tagging Niger Delta Avengers to
killing, kidnapping, ransacking of policemen,
soldiers and individuals in the region.
We the Niger Delta Avengers have not
negotiated with anyone. So we don’t know
where Mr Garba shehu and General Babagana
Munguno, the National Security Adviser are
getting their information from. If they have
been negotiating with any body it clearly
shows they had been negotiating with
fraudsters and their (national security agency)
created militant group.”
Shehu’s statement on Tuesday, July 5, had
claimed that the militant group had wreaked
havoc on the nation’s oil production in
recent times, throught their trade in killing
and kidnapping and asking oil companies in
the region to stop operating.

for Niger Delta
Part of the statement reads: “It is still
unclear what they want. From the diverse, if
vague and inchoate voices of the militants,
some say they want to take control of the oil
resources in the region. Sometimes when the
rhetoric gets uglier, they call for the breakup
of Nigeria as a country!”
In another development, Twitter has taken
serious action against the Niger Delta
Avengers account by suspending its
account.
The account of the militant group was
suspended on Monday, July 4. The group has
also used its social media account to
broadcast warnings and threats against the
federal government and oil companies.
