WARRI —THE temporary cessation of hostilities in the Niger
Delta region broke down, weekend, as Niger Delta Avengers,
NDA, blew up five oil and gas installations following its
displeasure with the manner the Federal Government was
managing and breaching the peace process.
A source disclosed that as far as Niger Delta Avengers was
concerned, the Federal Government was not serious about
peace in the region, as it had said nothing concrete about its
planned dialogue with stakeholders and was breaching the
warning by the militant group not to repair damaged pipelines
while the window for negotiations was open.
The militant group did not give any reason why it started fresh
attacks, but confirmed in several tweets on its twitter handle
that it blew up five different crude oil trunk lines and wells
belonging to Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC,
Chevron Nigeria Limited, and Nigeria Petroleum Development
Company, NPDC in Delta State.
Reacting to the resumption of hostilities, yesterday, the Ijaw
Youth Council, IYC, described same as regrettable, but
criticized President Muhammadu Buhari, who it said did not
take any practical step toward addressing the issues since he
returned from his medical trip abroad.
Meanwhile, a new group in the region, Niger Delta Movement
for Socio-Economy Inclusion, NDMSEI, yesterday, picked holes
in the recent stakeholders meeting organised by the Delta
State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, saying that the meeting
failed to address key issues affecting the ethnic nationalities
in the region.
Avengers confirmed on it twitter handle that it bombed two
major NNPC crude oil trunk lines to Warri Refining and
Petrochemical Company, WRPC, Warri, on Friday at 9.15 p.m.,
adding: “At 11:26p.m., on Saturday @Niger Delta Avengers blew up
two NPDC major crude trunk lines close to Batan flow station
in Delta State.”
The group stated: “At 11:26p.m., on Saturday @Niger Delta Avengers
blew up two NPDC major crude trunk lines close to Batan flow
station in Delta State and at 1:15a.m., on Sunday @
Niger Delta Avengers blew up two major Chevron Oil Wells. Well 7 and
Well 8, close to Abiteye flow station in Delta State.”
Congratulating its fighters for a good job, it said in yet another
tweet: “All five operations were carried out by @Niger Delta Avengers
strike team.”
A security source, who corroborated attacks, told Vanguard
that Chevron officials were already aware and would visit the
attacked facilities in some hours to ascertain the extent of
damage done to them.

On the renewed attacks, ex-militant leader told Vanguard :
“After reviewing the Federal Government’s position since the
expiration of its two-week ceasefire, it was obvious that
President Buhari on return from his short vacation in London
was not interested in meeting the demands of the Niger Delta
Avengers and other militants.
“He merely appealed to the militants in the name of God to
stop the bombings, which was suspended even before he left
for his vacation. He did not put anything on the table, said
nothing about the expired ceasefire or way forward on the
dialogue, which his Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr.
Emmanuel Kachikwu, had gone round talking to stakeholders
about.
“What is clear is that the Federal Government is only bidding
for time, while the Joint Task Force, JTF, in the Niger Delta,
“Operation Pulo Shield” was disbanded and replaced with
“Operation Delta Safe”, the Department of State Services, DSS,
on its part is framing up members of the Niger Delta
Avengers,” he said.
