The new militant group known as the Niger Delta Avengers have denied the allegation made by the Nigerian Army that they are responsible for the killing of over 50 soldiers.
The Avengers denied the allegation through their twitter account @NDAvengers. They said the Chief of Army staff deployed personnel without amphibian training to the creek which led to their death.

'' Nigeria Military also lied that NDA kill soldiers. we havnt engage in combat wth them bt if they want us to kill them let them come after us", they said.
They also accused the Nigerian army of lying about the arrest of its 10 members, saying none of its members have been arrested.
'' Our attention has the drawn to the arrest of 10 @NDAvengers boys by Nigeria Military.None of our Strike team has been arrested its all a lie".
Meanwhile, a former vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar yesterday, called on the federal government to handle the Niger Delta issue using stick and carrot approach;
“I think the Niger Delta should be handled with a stick and carrot approach. In 2007, before I ran for president, I met with various stakeholders on the Niger Delta issue and they came up with a policy. Part of the recommendations was that the ministry be moved to the Niger Delta and not Abuja.
We have had administrations that did not do their homework on the Niger Delta. If I had won, I would have sold 10 per cent shares in the NNPC; that will give me 20 billion dollars which would build infrastructure for the Niger delta but we will always end up with accidental leadership.
Bring peace and development to the Niger Delta then they will stop blowing up pipelines. Then, we will get gas and then power can be stable but until then, we will not get it.’’ he said.
