Army on Monday said that it will resort to full military action against militant
group, Niger-Delta Avengers if the proposed dialogue
fails. Chief of Army
Staff, Lieutenant- General Tukur Buratai made this known in Port Harcourt while
commissioning a newly built administrative complex of the Two Brigade Bori
camp. Buratai was represented by the General Officer Commanding 82 division
Nigerian Army, Ibrahim Attahiru. He told newsmen that the military welcome the
option of dialogue but is ready to protect lives and property in the
Niger-Delta region. He also commented on the
possible involvement of the military in the July 30 legislative re-run
elections in Rivers State.

are behind similar attacks on oil and gas facilities since renewed militancy in
the region started.
