TVC E. The Niger Delta Avengers, which has claimed responsibility for the majority of a recent spate of attacks on oil and gas facilities in the country, said late on Monday that it blew up an Exxon Mobil Corp facility in Akwa Ibom state yesterday July 11th.
The militants, whose attacks briefly pushed Nigeria’s crude production to 30-year lows in spring, said they want a greater share of the OPEC member’s energy wealth to go to the impoverished southern Niger Delta, the source of most of the country’s oil.
Below is the statement shared on their website.
“At about 7:30pm yesterday July 11th, the Niger Delta Avengers blow up ExxonMobile Qua Iboe 48″ crude oil export pipeline. When will these International Oil companies (IOC) learn to listen. We (Niger Delta Avengers) said no export”.
