The militants, whose activities have hammered Nigeria's crude output, posted a warning on Twitter to the army and oil firms: "Watch out something big is about to happen and it will shock the whole world ".
They also sent out salutations to children. The Avengers website showed a picture of children clambering over rusting oil pipelines above a message condemning the Nigerian government for denying the nation's youth the "enchanting vista" of childhood.
Children's Day is celebrated on May 27 in Nigeria, with primary and secondary schools closed.
