Niger Delta Avengers attack Chevron, NNPC Facilities, AGAIN?

Why can't these guys just give peace a chance? The Niger Delta Avengers has again attack major oil and gas installations in the troubled Niger Delta creeks.

The militant group said it carried out attacks on facilities operated by Chevron and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC.

It said it bombed an NNPC pipeline conveying crude to Warri refinery in Delta State on Friday night.


Between Saturday night and early Sunday morning, the group announced four more attacks against.
The attacks were on oil facilities.
“At 11:26 p.m. on Saturday, @NDAvengers blow up (sic) two NPDC major crude trunk lines close to Batan Flow Station in Delta State.

“At 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, @NDAvengers blow (sic) up two major Chevron oil wells. Well 7 and Well 8 close to Abiteye Flow Station in Delta State,” the group said in tweets posted on its Twitter handle.

The group also said all the attacks were carried out by one “strike team.”

The NNPC, which owns the NPDC, has however said it is not aware of the attacks.

Garbadeen Mohammed, the spokesman for NNPC, said the state-run oil corporation was not aware of any damage to its facilities in the region.

Also, a front officer at Chevron Nigeria Limited could not speak on the attacks since it's not a week day.
The federal government is still playing soft with them, just to look for a peaceful solution.
