ANGLO-DUTCH group Shell has put out the fire at a pipeline feeding the Bonny export terminal in southern Nigeria .
Spokesperson Tony Okonedo blamed the incident on sabotage. Exports from Bonny were not disrupted.
Okonedo could not say whether a second fire on a different pipeline in Ogoniland, also reported last week, had been extinguished.
Community unrest forced Shell to quit Ogoniland in 1993 but the company�s supply pipelines still pass through the area and are regularly vandalised. Shell is Nigeria�s largest oil operator, accounting for about half of the country�s daily exports of 2.6 million barrels at peak production . Unrest in the Niger Delta has reduced that figure by a quarter in the last two years.
