Less than 24 hours after the Federal Government launched the clean up
of oil spills in Ogoni, in the South-South, the Niger Delta Avengers
(NDA) on Friday attacked Shell Petroleum Development Company’s Forcados
48″ Export line.
The militant group claimed responsibility for the attack on its Twitter handle.
“At
3:00 am today @NDAvengers blow up the SPDC forcados 48″ Exportline. We
warned SPDC not to go ahead with repair works but they refuse,” said the
group.
It had on Thursday claimed responsibility for the bombing
of pipelines conveying crude oil from Ogboinbiri to Tebidaba and from
Clough Creek to Tebidaba. The two pipelines are located in Bayelsa
State.
“At about 2:00am today @NDAvengers blew up the Ogboinbiri
to Tebidaba and Clough Creek to Tebidaba Crude Oil pipelines in Bayelsa
State,” the NDA said on Twitter.
“This
is in line with our promise to all international Oil companies and
Indigenous Oil Companies that Nigeria Oil production will be Zero.”
But
the Avengers said in a statement that it did not kill six Nigerian
soldiers who were reportedly murdered in their sleep in Warri, Delta
State, claiming that no blood of a Nigerian soldier would be ‘wasted’.
“The
Niger Delta Avengers were not involved in the attack of the Military
houseboat around Warri, Delta State. Killing of sleeping Soldiers is not
our style.
“We promise the world that in this Process of
liberating our People, not a single blood of Nigeria soldiers will be
wasted despite the provocation.”
The NDA has claimed
responsibility for some recent attacks on ENI, NNPC, Chevron and Shell
facilities. The series pf attacks have seen the country’s oil production
plummeted to a 20-year low
