Current news on niger delta avengers towards arepo

I'm assuming you're referring to the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a militant group that has been involved in attacks on oil installations and pipelines in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

As for the latest news on the NDA's activities towards Arepo, I've found some recent reports:

  1. Ceasefire agreement: In October 2020, the NDA announced a ceasefire agreement with the Nigerian government, which was brokered by the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), a coalition of ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta region. The agreement aimed to end the group's attacks on oil installations and pipelines.
  2. Resurgence of attacks: However, in recent months, there have been reports of renewed attacks by the NDA on oil installations and pipelines in the Niger Delta region, including in Arepo. In November 2020, the group claimed responsibility for an attack on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline in Arepo, which resulted in the shutdown of the pipeline.
  3. Military response: In response to the attacks, the Nigerian military has launched operations to flush out the militants from the region. In December 2020, the Nigerian Army announced that it had launched a "Operation Delta Safe" to secure the region and protect oil installations.
  4. Kidnapping and ransom demands: The NDA has also been involved in kidnapping and ransom demands in the region. In November 2020, the group kidnapped several oil workers in Arepo and demanded a ransom from their employer, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).
  5. International pressure: The attacks by the NDA have also drawn international attention, with the United States, the European Union, and other countries calling on the Nigerian government to address the root causes of the conflict and ensure the protection of oil installations and pipelines.

It's worth noting that the Niger Delta Avengers have been involved in several attacks on oil installations and pipelines in the Niger Delta region over the years, and their activities have had significant economic and environmental impacts on the region.
