The Niger Delta Avengers, a militant group that has claimed responsibility for several attacks on oil and gas installations across Nigeria’s delta states, on Tuesday, restated its position that it had not entered into any ceasefire agreement with the Nigerian government.
“The NDA High Command never remember (sic) having any agreement on ceasefire with the Nigeria Government,” the group said on its Twitter page in the afternoon.
Avengers, alongside other militant groups, was purported to have entered into an agreement with the government.
This is the second time the group, which has vowed to reduce Nigeria’s production level to zero, would be denying truce with the government.
On June 8, the group tweeted that, “This is to the general public, we’re not negotiating with any committee. If the federal government is discussing wth any group, they’re doing that on their own.”
The Avengers has, however, said it would welcome a “genuine” deliberation with the government if it includes reputable and independent foreign mediators.
Earlier this month, the government announced a unilateral ceasefire and ordered combat troops deployed to the restive region to rout out the militants to stand down. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
