The Niger Delta Avengers, this morning, said a crude pipeline owned by Italian oil giant, Agip Eni, was destroyed in an overnight explosion.
The group, which has claimed responsibility for virtually all major attacks against oil installations across the restive oil-rich region this year, said the incident occurred at about 3:00 a.m.
In a tweet posted on its Twitter page, @NDAvengers, the Avengers wrote: “3:00 a.m. on Friday. Niger Delta Avengers blow (sic) up the Obi Obi Brass trunk line belonging to Agip ENI. It is Agip’s major crude oil line in Bayelsa State.”
AGIP have yet to confirm the incident. More as we get it……
