The federal government yesterday in a display of military might and its readiness to nip the militancy in the Niger Delta in the bud, deployed a fleet of five warships, 100 gunboats and fighter jets to the creeks of the Niger Delta.
This is in response to the constant bombing of oil and gas pipelines by Niger Delta Avengers, NDA.
However, it heightened tension in the coastal communities of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area when helicopter gunships were seen hovering at low altitude in the riverine area.
