“Indefinite Recession” Looms In Nigeria As Dreaded Militia, Avenger Breaks Ceasefire, Appoints A Woman To Lead Fresh Attacks On “Big Oil”

There seem to be palpable panic in the Niger Delta and other parts of Nigeria as recalcitrant and dreaded militia group, Niger Delta Avenger (NDA), broke its silence, threatening to launch a major attacks on the “big oil facilities” in the country.

BIGPENNGR reports that Avengers in a statement posted on its website threatened to force the Nigerian economy into “a permanent” recession in the coming days.

Avengers, who were responsible for Nigeria sliding into recession in 2016, announced the come back on Saturday with a statement titled; “We Are Back With Operation Humble”.

“We decided to suspend our famous, operation red economy‚ which bled the Nigerian economy into recession about 4 years ago not because we are lazy but for the love we have for our people and out of respect for the voice of the elders of the Niger Delta region who beckoned on us to give peace a chance and avail the government time to act on our demands at the time.”

“In a move to remind this failed government that we have exhausted the very last iota of patience, the High Command of the Niger Delta Avengers have in a meeting held last night (Friday) resolved as follows:

“We have lost total confidence on all socio-cultural groups like PANDEF, the elders of Niger Delta and the bunch of so-called ex-agitators frolicking with the Government at our detriment.”

The group said it is breaking its ceasefire because the “Nigerian Government has continued to pay deaf ears to our demands and the rising challenges in the country”.

They said that the federal government had reneged on the ceasefire agreement “because the pipelines that crisscrosses our lands are left untouched”.

Threatening, they said; “We shall spare no single oil installation within our range of strategic targets marked for destruction in the coming days and we bet the Nigerian Government will be humbled to return to the drawing board and chart an all-inclusive course by the time we are done with our action plan.

“Members of our strike teams across the Niger Delta are commanded to be on red alert awaiting precise strike plans as mapped by the high command of the NDA”.

The militia group, also announced the change of its leadership with a woman with the moniker, “Tu-ere aka Queen of the Creeks” emerging as the group’s new Field Commander.

“The high command of the NDA has promoted and appointed one of our finest operatives, Field Commander Tu-ere aka Queen of the Creeks to the rank of ‘Brigadier General’. She is an experienced field agent who before now was the head of the counter intelligence unit of the NDA, using her connections with top Government and security officials to deliver on her assignment”.

Tu-ere, according to Avengers was part of the its elite Strike Teams that attacked and took down the Chevron Valve platform on the 4th of May, 2016; the Shell Forcados 48-inch Export line on the 3rd of June, 2016; and the Exxon Mobil Qua Iboe 48 Crude Oil Pipeline on the 11th of July, 2016.

“Conclusively, we wish to state unequivocally and in simple terms that we are back with operation Humble; with the aim of humbling the economy into permanent recession and political players from the Niger Delta extraction to political retirement.

“Our Strike Teams 01 – 09 and all other formations are to regroup and remain on red alert awaiting further command.  There will be no going back until the Nigerian economy is humbled into recession never to rise again!”, Avengers further warned.
