Niger Delta Militants have blown up a crude oil delivery line belonging to the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company in Delta State, South South region.
The Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate says it is responsible for the attack which occurred on tuesday morning.
Greenland warned Nigerians over further attacks while revealing that Tuesday’s attack was carried out as part of ‘Operation Crocodile Tears’. The statement reads in part: “As a mark of our faith to totally grounding the Nigerian oil economy, the gallant “Opudo” strike forces brought down the Afiesere- Iwhrenene major delivery line in Ughelli North, leading to the UPS/UQCC operated by NPDC/SHORELINES at about 1am today 13th september 2016.
“The Niger Delta is not a conquered territory and our people have never succumbed to intimidation before, rather we match force with the oppressor’s brutality. “The Nigerian government should already know that the people of this part are not fools, who will not be able to see when they are being treated with disdain.” The militants restated its call to those living and working around oil companies to vacate such premises to avoid being wounded during attacks.
