TVC E. The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) has destroyed a pipeline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) close to the Batan community, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State in its latest assault on the economy.
It threatened to carry out a bigger attack that ”will shock the whole world,” and said it had no interest in dialoguing with government.
The group in a tweet after the Thursday night attack said: “At 11:45pm on Thursday, @NDAvengers blew up other #NNPC gas and crude trunkline close to Warri. Pipeline that was heavily guarded by military.”
In another tweet,it said:”The Niger Delta Stakeholders’ meeting is an insult to the people of the Niger Delta. What we need is a sovereign state, not pipeline contracts. To IOCs, indigenous oil companies and the Nigerian military: watch out, something big is about to happen, and it will shock the whole world.”
Two stakeholders in the area, an environmental activist, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, and the spokesperson of the Ijaw Youths Congress (IYC), Eric Omare, confirmed the development.
