Terror Group, Niger Delta Avengers, Bomb NNPC Pipelines

Less than 12 hours after crippling operations at Chevron’s Escravo’s oil terminal, the new terror group, Niger Delta Avengers have militants struck again, blowing up a large gas and crude pipeline operated by Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC).

The attack was carried out near Warri, the commercial capital of Delta state.

The attackers taunted government that their sabotage was carried out despite the presence of Nigerian soldiers.

They declared on its Twitter feed: “At 11:45pm on Thursday @NDAvengers blew up other #NNPC Gas and Crude trunkline close to Warri,” [myad]
