The condemnation followed accusations that the group was responsible for the attacks in Ejere, a creek in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, which left at least two soldiers dead.
In total, at least six people were killed in the incident.
The army said, ‘’During the deliberate attack two soldiers were killed, one wounded, one soldier missing while four civilian staff attached to the house boat were shot dead”.

In a statement signed by Mudoch Agbinibo, the Avengers condemned all acts of violence against military and civilians, declaring “the days of killing and kidnapping” over.
“Killing of sleeping soldiers is not our style,” the Avengers said in an update posted on its website. “We promise the world that in this process of liberating our people, not a single blood of Nigeria soldiers will be wasted despite the provocation.”
“Our war is on oil installations not to take innocent lives.”
Agbinibo assured “the families of the affected soldiers that the group will bring the culprits to book.”
The militants called on other groups to follow their footsteps, saying the days of killing and kidnapping are over.
“This message is going to all groups parading themselves as freedom fighters. You can fight for your people without killing innocent souls NDA have (sic) proved it. We were able to drop Nigeria oil production from 2 million barrels (per day) to just 800,000 barrels without killing a soul. We are warning every group to follow our footsteps.”
Meanwhile, this morning, the group claimed responsibility for an attack carried out on Shell Petroleum Development Company oil facility.
The group said through its online platform, “At 3:00am, Niger Delta Avengers blew up SPDC Forcados 48’ export line. We warned SPDC not to go on ahead with the repair work but they refused. This is an example to all other multinationals”.
