Rampaging militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, on Thursday announced its new twitter account.

The group which has claimed responsibility for several attacks on pipeline installations in the oil rich region had its social media handle blocked recently by Twitter Corporation.

Avengers account was said to have been suspended in line with Twitter’s policy, which detailed specific rule pertaining to violent threats.

The rule states that, “you may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism.”

But spokesman of the group, Mudoch Agbinibo in a statement, said, “We are officially saying that @agbiniboND is our new official twitter account handle. Twitter can block or suspend our account but they can’t stop or block our struggle.”
