The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, on Tuesday blew up a Chevron offshore export pipeline at Escravos, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State.
The militant group, in a statement by its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, said the attack was carried out in the morning hours by its strike team.
Announcing the attack, the Avengers said, “At about 3:45am, our strike team 06 took down Chevron Escravos export pipeline at Escravos offshore.
“This action is to further warn all IOCs’ that when we warn that there should be no repairs pending negotiation/dialogue with the people of the Niger Delta, it means there should be no repairs.
“Any attempt to use dialogue to distract us so as to allow the free flow of our oil will halt the dialogue process.”
This attack by the militant group is coming at a time when President Muhammadu Buhari reiterated his commitment towards resolving the crisis in the oil-rich region by meeting with leaders of the region on October 31.
