An oil well owned by Chevron has been blown up by Niger Delta Avengers in Warri, Delta State, the group announced.

“At 1:00am today, the @Niger Delta Avengers blow up Well RMP 20 belonging to Chevron located 20 meters away from Dibi flow Station in Warri North LGA,” NDA said.

It also denied being any in dialogue with the Federal Government.




The minister of state for petroleum resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, said on Monday that the government was ready to enter into a dialogue with the militant group and scale down the military presence in the Niger Delta, hoping to stem down the spate of attacks on oil installations in the region.

“Probably, we will suspend the operations of the military in the region for a week or two for individuals in the creeks to converge for the dialogue,” Kachikwu said.

He explained that the government was determined to restore “genuine peace in the region where oil production has been significantly hurt by the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers”.

He urged the militants to accept the government truce offer.

“The avenue is open for them, provided the militants are willing to embrace dialogue and allow truce to reign,” he said.

This govt is full of lies.

they said they arrested NDA, meanwhile NDA is waxing strong.

i think the best thing for this govt is to implement the confab report.

5% of the people being ignored need their resource control.

the oil comes from the South south to feed the country.

the human resource via NYSC comes from the south to man the country.

yet the whole south is being marginalized but a northocractic govt.

This cannot happen if the north had the oil, they would have left nigeria.

i mean look at the way posts go to only the north.

It is going to be tough for we Nigerians
