Niger Delta Avengers resume violence
Nigeria Niger Delta Militants
In a statement on the group’s website, the NDA said they hit trunklines 1, 2 and 3 on Tuesday night. The group cited the federal government’s failure to meet its 16 demands as the reason behind the resumption of violence that began on Sunday.
The Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps said further Nembe creek attacks had been thwarted, adding that it had “repelled saboteurs who tried to vandalise and steal a control unit.”
On Monday night, two explosions rocked Agip’s Tebidaba-Brass pipeline at Lasukugbene. The incidents are currently being investigated, and it remains unclear whether the NDA were behind these hits as well, which occurred some 30 kilometres to the west of Nembe.
