Niger Delta Avengers Blows Another NNPC Pipeline

 

New militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers, on Friday morning said it had blown up another pipeline, a gas and crude trunkline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

According to the group twitter handle, it said it blew up the pipeline despite heavy military presence.

 “At 11:45pm on Thursday.@NDAvengers blew up other #NNPC Gas and Crude trunkline close to Warri. Pipeline that was heavily guarded by Military.”

The group described the recent invitation for a stakeholders meeting for the Niger Delta as an insult. It said what the zone is demanding is a Sovereign State and not pipeline contracts.

“The Niger Delta stakeholder’s meeting is an insult to the people of Niger Delta. What we need is a Sovereign State not pipeline Contracts.”

The Niger Delta Avengers warned of further attacks in the series of tweets.
