NIGERIAN NAVY ATTACKED BY NIGER DELTA AVENGERS, KILL SECURITY OPERATIVES

Some armed men assumed to be the Niger Delta Avengers have on 12 August, attacked the Nigerian Navy personnel stationed at a waterways security vessel located in Bayelsa State, executing some of the military officers.

A video clip seen by reporters indicated at least three security operatives down as the militants staged the massive gun shooting with the troops.

Earlier on 27 June, the militant had issued a threat that they would revert with ‘Operation Humble’ which is synonymous to its ‘Operation Red’ in 2016, tailored towards destroying oil facilities in the region.

According to a statement issued through its website on Saturday, the militant threatened to wreck the country’s economy and place it into an endless recession

A circular spotted on the group’s supposed website had noted that they would ambush politicians working together with the Federal Government ‘to destroy the interest of the Niger Delta oil reach the region.’

Niger Delta Avengers lamented the reality that the region had continued to be neglected despite its rich resources, stating that their fresh violent invasion against oil facilities will stir the nation’s economy.
