The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) is a militant group in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.[1] The group publicly announced their existence in March 2016.[2]
The NDA is known for attacking oil-producing facilities in the deltas, causing the shutdown of oil terminals and a fall in Nigeria's oil production to its lowest level in twenty years.[2] The attacks caused Nigeria to fall behind Angola as Africa's largest oil producer.[3] The reduced oil output has hampered the Nigerian economy and destroyed its budget,[4] since Nigeria depends on the oil industry for nearly all its government revenues.[5]
The NDA's stated that their aims are to create a sovereign state in the Niger Delta and have threatened to disrupt Nigeria's economy if their aims are not met. The NDA claims its members are "young, educated, well travelled...and educated in east Europe". The group criticised the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, for having never visited the delta and his detention of the Biafran independence activist Nnamdi Kanu.[2][6]
