Avengers mock Nigerian Army

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), one of the groups operating in the oil-rich region, has ridiculed the Nigerian Army over its “Operation Crocodile Smile.”

They have listed the reasons for the deaths of the staff of the Nigerian military that lost their lives in the operation in parts of the Niger Delta area.

The Avengers also blamed the soldiers for harassing old men, women and innocent youths in the region under the guise of hunting for militants. Mudoch Agbinibo, the spokesman of the group, took his accusations to his Twitter handle @AgbiniboND.

The NDA recently said it has ceased operations and is ready to open talks with the government, despite the Nigerian army reportedly launching an offensive in the region code-named “Crocodile Smile”.

The group also alleged an attempt by the military to cover up the death of 20 soldiers in Delta state, who drowned due to poor training in the army.

According to the chief of army staff at least 3,000 soldiers have so far been deployed in the Niger Delta as Nigeria’s security agencies ramp up the war against militancy.
