A militant group, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, NDGJM, says
it has carried out an attack on a crude oil pipeline belonging to
Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, in Delta State.
The crude oil delivery line crossing Afiesere- Iwhrenene communities
in Ughelli North Council Area of the state was blown up at about 1am on
Tuesday.
NDGJM confirmed the development in a statement by its spokesperson, Aldo Agbalaja.
The militant group said the attack was in fulfilment of its earlier
threat to carry out series of coordinated attacks on oil facilities
across the Niger Delta region.
NDGJM said, “As a mark of our faith to totally grounding the Nigerian
oil economy, the gallant “Opudo” strike forces brought down the
Afiesere- Iwhrenene major delivery line in Ughelli North, leading to the
UPS/UQCC operated by NPDC/SHORELINES at about 1am today 13th September
2016.
“The Niger Delta is not a conquered territory and our people have
never succumbed to intimidation before, rather we match force with the
oppressor’s brutality.
“The Nigerian government should already know that the people of this
part are not fools, who will not be able to see when they are being
treated with disdain.”
