“The high command of the avengers is calling on you not to attack any soldier and those claiming to have anti-aircraft missiles should deist from targeting any aircraft.
“Let us be careful not to offend God in the process of trying to liberate our people from the shackles of the Nigerian government because we need God more than anything right now. We also need the international communities as well. Hence, we must desist from any life threatening actions that will derail our genuine struggle for our people”, the Niger Delta Avengers said in the statement.
It called on relevant groups to help any oil workers or soldiers in distress.

“The military warplanes hovering round our towns and villages have not strike a soul or destroy any property, so those groups with anti-aircraft missiles should dry their gunpowder.
“When it is time to engage the military in combat the whole world will know they started the war not the Avengers… So far, we have not engaged the Nigeria military in combat; despite the heavy presence of military on the pipelines, we still find way to carry out our actions without attacking soldiers. The avengers will deal with any group that refuses and attack military”, the statement added.
It called on all groups in Rivers, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, and Akwa Ibom to not indulge in any act of kidnapping and attacking of soldiers, adding that the war is on oil installations; “Operation On Flow of Oil”.
