Niger Delta Militants Hit South-west by pjamas(m): 8:12am On Jul 14, 2016
Suspected Niger Delta militants have
extended the territory of their attacks and
blown up a gas facility in PZ Estate in the
Ogijo area of the Ogun state.
The attack comes weeks after killing and
maiming innocent residents while raiding
communities in the state.
Channels Television reports that locals
described the incident as the first known
attack on oil facility in the south-west under
President Muhammadu Buhari.

The suspects in Ogun were said to have
bombed the pipeline late on July 12,
Tuesday while pretending to be officials of
the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) on maintenance patrol.
The affected facility is said to serve an 11.4
distribution line for some companies in
Ikorodu, Lagos state.
The site of the attack has been cordoned off
by security officers.
While officials of the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) consider it is
too early to identify those behind the
attack, sabotage of such nature has been
arranged by the creek manors.
Mohammed Tijani, divisional policeman,
has stated that investigations were ongoing.
He said: “What we heard is that during the
day, some people disguised as NNPC staff.
They reportedly came with two Hilux
vehicles and pretended as if they carried
out some repairs.”
“Later at night, the explosion occurred.”
Away from the Imo state in the south-east,
where a Shell pipeline was exploded last
month, all other attacks in recent times
have occurred in the south-south, mainly
Delta state.

The Niger Delta Avengers, the militant
group that came to the spotlight in the
beginning of the year, claimed
responsibility for most of the attacks under
the incumbent government.
The group, which threatened to storm
Lagos, said its aim is to cripple Nigeria’s
economy.
President Buhari after threatening to
crackdown on the militants appealed to
them to give peace talks a chance.
Nigeria’s oil production size, which dashed
to an all-time low as a result of the attacks,
soared during a two-week ceasefire
announced by the militants.
Meanwhile, the group resumed hostilities
some weeks back, blaming the government
for insincerity.

Start taking note of these Ijaw boys that deal in bunkering and their locations.


They will meet their end in the southwest.
