Niger Delta Avengers on Sunday night
allegedly blew up the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, gas
pipeline at Nsite Ibom Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
The claim has not been independently
confirmed, but spokesperson of the militant group, self-styled Brig Gen Mudoch
Agbinibo, in a statement, challenged NNPC to “check their pipeline" if it is "system anomaly."
The
statement read
“At 11:30pm on Sunday,
the NDA blow up Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), gas pipeline at
Nsit-Ibom L.G.A, Akwa Ibom state. NNPC should check their pipeline if it’s
“system Anomaly”.
Asking the NNPC to check if it was system
anomaly is an allusion to the exchange between the militant group and Exxon
Mobil, which initially denied an attack on its export line in Akwa-Ibom state,
saying that it was a system anomaly, only to declare force majeure days later.
