A new militant group identified as ‘The Niger Delta’ Avengers
in Nigeria’s Niger- Delta region, has issued a warning to President
Muhammadu Buhari.
In a press statement made available to
the public press, the
group says the president should hold a national conference

years, the group revealed why they began their militancy and despite the fact
that the late President Umaru Musa Yaradua
proclaimed amnesty for the agitators, nothing has been done about their demands.
