Nigeria’s crude production is under threat again as the Niger Delta Avengers militant group announced that it plans to resume attacks in the next few days. The Niger Delta Avengers were the cause of the country’s biggest drop in production in decades in 2016.
“This round of attacks will be the most deadly and will be targeting the deep sea operations of the multinationals, ”the Niger Delta Avengers said on their website.
The group, which wants a greater share of Nigeria’s energy wealth to go to the impoverished Delta region, said its targets would include Bonga Platform, Agbami, EA Field, Brittania-U Field, Akpo Field. In November, the group said it had ended a ceasefire.
