In a statement released to reporters on Saturday, the militant group said it had initiated ‘Operation Humble,’ with the goal of damaging the economy as it had in the past.

The group also promised to crack down on politicians who collaborate with the federal government to “undermine the Niger Delta region,” according to the statement.

“It is disheartening that, despite being the country’s economic backbone and having resolved to maintain a peaceful environment for the smooth operations of the oil multinationals whose profits the country relies on for survival, the Niger Delta and the South-South remain the most underdeveloped, with our needs and interests being undermined by the failed Nigerian State,” the statement continued.
