New militant group responsible for the bombing of oil facilities in the Niger Delta region, the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, on Tuesday, said claims by the Nigerian Military that no fewer than 10 of its suspected members were arrested on Sunday, was false.

The Nigerian Army said it arrested 10 suspected militants and pipeline vandals in the Niger Delta region, on Sunday. The Commander, 4 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Benin City, Farouk Yahaya, while addressing journalists had said that the the Nigerian Army arrested 10 suspected militants and pipeline vandals in the Niger Delta region, on Sunday.

Yahaya had said the suspects were arrested during a cordon and search exercise conducted in Oporozoa community and its environs in Delta State. However, Mr. Yahaya, a Brigadier General, said the arrested suspects may have links with the Niger Delta Avengers. He said guns, ammunition and other equipment were recovered from them.

He said the operation was conducted professionally in line with the code of conduct and rules of engagement of the Nigerian Army. He said the Army is committed to tackling pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta region.

But in a tweet today, via its Twitter handle, @Niger Delta Avengers, the militant group said: “Our attention has been drawn to the arrest of 10Niger Delta Avengers boys by Nigerian Military. None of our Strike Team has been arrested. It’s all lies.”

The government is full of propaganda, those arrested may be innocent, but the security agencies are trying hard to please their master.

The heat in this country is getting intense by the day.

By the way I follow this man up...every second to ease my stress......

Ehen!

The Nigerian army is a failure. Yet another casualty of a failed state. When it comes to harassing innocent civilians and shooting protesters, you see them shine.

Na una own talk come be true abi, rubbish

hmmm those Igbos call our country a zoo
are they really correct?

No mind em', na so so lie dem dey talk since buhari take over power. BTID (Biafran Till i Die)

I would be banned if I release Intel here on nairaland.

Nigeria needs a Joseph who can interpret her dreams and advice as God has said.
Buhari should just humble himself and seek the face of God with all sincerity and it shall be well but if not Nigeria will never progress under his watch.

Propaganda everywhere

I already knew that none of the avengers were arrested when I saw those faces of "arrested kids" on the other thread the military claimed were the Niger Delta Avengers

This NDA guys seem to be telling the truth. If they had killed any soldier, they would have claimed responsibility for it.

I think some demons are out to make the country ungovernable for Mr. President.

We shall see.

Propaganda everywhere

What else do you expect NDA to say?

Who shall we believe?

This Avengers re too poor in propaganda,

Boko-haram will never trade word with anybody they strike instead of coming out to debunk stories.

Oya make una strike Now to convince us cowards.
