Although Twitter Incorporated does not comment or make public on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons but sources from Twitter NG said Avengers account was suspended in line with the social media site policy, which detailed specific rule pertaining to violent threats. Twitter’s policy says users cannot make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism. The avenger’s militant group was believed to have contravened this policy by using the medium as its main form of communication to make public its claims of attacks on government facilities and in attacking and criticizing the Federal government.

The Niger Delta Avengers militant group resumed attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta region yesterday after few days of ceasefire arrangement the group has with the federal government. It was reported last week by the spokesperson of the group Sibiri Taiowoh  that a new group ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta UWND has pulled out of the temporal ceasefire agreement saying the dialogue committee constituted by the federal government are not showing seriousness in its dealings and means they are only biding time. The group according to their spokesman blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for the renewed attacks saying that the president’s policy reversals would surely bounce on him.
