A Nigerian insurgent group which has claimed attacks on oil facilities that have slashed Nigeria’s output to the lowest level in 27 years said it’s not in talks with the government, a day after the authorities said they were preparing for dialogue.
“If the government is discussing with any group they’re doing that on their own,” the group called the Nigeria Delta Avengers said Wednesday in a post on Twitter from an account claiming to represent them and whose authenticity couldn’t be confirmed by Bloomberg.
