The NDA threatened to crash the country’s economy and send it in to a permanent recession

Armed men  believed to be Niger Delta Avengers, a Nigeria Delta militant group have attacked Nigerian Navy personnel deployed to a waterways security vessel in Bayelsa State, killing some of the military men.

In a video seen by BusinessCompiler, about three personnel were seen down as the Niger Delta militants continued the heavy gun battle with the military.

The Niger Delta Avengers on June 27 threatened that they would return with “Operation Humble” which is similar to its “Operation Red” of 2016, designed to destroy oil installations.

In a statement released on its website on Saturday, the NDA threatened to crash the country’s economy and send it in to a permanent recession.

A statement sighted on the group’s acclaimed website had stated that they would attack politicians working and collaborating with the Federal Government “to undermine the interest of the Niger Delta region.”

The group decried the fact that the region had remained neglected despite its rich resources, stressing that its fresh violent onslaught against oil installations will shake the economy. 

This is coming as the oil host communities, National Assembly disagree on Petroleum Industry Bill before the National Assembly.
