WAR: See who President Buhari has declared war against

President Buhari has declared war against the Niger Delta Avengers
– The president said the group must be eliminated immediately to end
their vandalism
– The militant group has attacked several oil installations across the
blighted region recently
President Muhammadu Buhari has given fresh orders for the new militant
group, the Niger Delta Avengers to be hunted down and destroyed.
The new militant group had been responsible for attacks on oil
installations, blowing up Chevron's platform linking Warri and Kaduna
refineries on Friday and forcing the evacuation of a Royal Dutch Shell
facility over the weekend.
The president only gave the order on Friday but it has only been made
public now.


Chevron, after suffering loss due to the attack on the Okan offshore
production platform on Wednesday by the militants, said it had lost
105,000 barrels of oil production in three days.
According to AFP's quote of Chevron's spokeswoman, Isabel Ordonez, she
said in a statement that approximately 35,000 bpd of Chevron's net
crude oil production in Nigeria are impacted.
"The President gave special instruction to the military, especially to
the Chief of Naval Staff, that this ugly development of vandals in the
Niger Delta should end immediately," a presidential aide said


The Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. – General Rabe
Abubakar confirmed the directive handed down by the president while
giving an interview on Saturday.
"We have the order from the president and we are monitoring the
activities of the new group. All efforts will be made to bring out
those behind it," the general said.
"The suspects who perpetrated the first vandalism were apprehended and
paraded the day before yesterday.
