There were indications on
Tuesday evening that armed
militants operating in the Niger
Delta may have again blown up a
gas pipeline operated by Nigerian
Agip Oil Company (NAOC) at
Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw Local
Government Area of Bayelsa
State.

The latest attack makes it the
umpteenth time oil and gas
facilities belonging to the Italian
oil giant would be breached in
the state this year alone.
The fresh attack by gunmen, it
was learnt, occurred on the
pipeline about 48 hours ago,
raising questions within the
community over why security
agencies saddled with the
responsibility of protecting oil
installations are unable to stop
the frequent breaches.

Suspected ex-militants also
recently attacked a pipeline
carrying crude oil located at
Brass Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State, resulting in an oil
spill in the environment.
During the latest attack, the
gunmen reportedly stormed the
community at about 9 pm on
Sunday, traced the pipeline and
ruptured it at the same point
where it had been repaired after
the last attack.

While some sources said
dynamites were used to blow up
the pipeline, others said the
gunmen deployed other
mechanical devices to rupture the
line along the axis.
The pipeline said to be a major
gas pipeline in the country,
reportedly crosses Tumor
community in Bomadi, Delta
State, Ogbuasiri in Ekeremor
Local Government Area and
Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw, both
in Bayelsa State.

“Agip awarded the contract for
security surveillance and repairs
of the pipeline in the event of a
breach to a contractor from the
community.
“So the contractor enjoys the
dual contract of protecting the
pipeline and also repairing it
whenever there is a leakage. But
it is baffling how the pipeline
increasingly comes under attack,”
a source said.

He added that it “is a major
pipeline because it supplies gas
for domestic consumption”,
noting that Agip had spent a lot
of money fixing it.
While the pipeline is said to be
relatively safe in other
communities, it is continuously
breached in the Southern Ijaw
community, the source revealed.
