Niger Delta Avengers blow up Chevron export pipeline

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) on Tuesday destroyed an export line belonging to Chevron Nigeria Limited at Escravos in the Warri South West Council Area of Delta State.

The attack reportedly happened on Tuesday morning at about 3:45am.

The militant group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement by its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo.

The NDA asked oil firms to immediately stop repairs on facilities that were previously destroyed.

The statement read, “Today 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 is the first attack by the group since it agreed a ceasefire and negotiation with the Federal Government.
