Police say they have apprehended a most wanted Amalgamated Niger Delta Avengers commander and his second-in-command.

The arrest was made by the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team.

The militants were nabbed after they threatened to attack the Niger Delta Petroleum Resources located in Obumeze community, Rivers state.

“The threat messages demanded an initial payment of N20 million and to be placed on monthly salary of N3 million; failure to do so would be followed with kidnap, death, vandalism/explosions and attacks on the company’s assets,” a police source told The Sun.
