The now popular militant group- Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), have bombed a gas and crude oil trunkline close to Warri.
The facility belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), was blown up at 11:45pm on Thursday, May 26, 2016.
This was revealed by the militants on their Twitter timeline today, Friday, May 27, 20
This is coming after a meeting between the Federal Government and major stakeholders in the Niger-Delta.
The minister of state for petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, after the meeting, told newsmen that the responsibility for securing oil pipelines will be handed over to the indigenes of the host communities where the facilities are located.
The militants also slammed Kachikwu over the comments, saying it is an insult.
The Niger Delta stakeholder's meeting is an insult to the people of Niger Delta. What we need is a Sovereign State not pipeline Contracts.
They also warned oil companies and the Nigerian military to stay alert, because something big is about to happen.
