Two pipelines belonging to the Nigerian
Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, were in the early hours of Friday blown up
by gunmen suspected to be Niger Delta militants.
Local community sources who confirmed the
development, said about two pipelines operated by the Nigerian Petroleum
Development Company were blown up at about 2am.
Although no militant group has openly claimed
responsibility, local community sources however said a new militant group,
Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, was behind the attack.
Report equally revealed that a technical team
of NPDC and security officials have been deployed to the area to prevent the
spread of spilled crude to other communities.
