The federal government has condemned the attack on Chevron Valve Platform in Warri South-West Local government area of Delta state, saying it is open to dialogue.
A group known as the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) claimed responsibility for the attack, threatening to cripple the nation’s economy if the government does not respond to its demand.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Paul Boroh, special adviser to the president on Niger Delta and coordinator of the presidential amnesty programme, said the government was willing to discuss, no matter the grievances of the group.
“Pipeline vandalism is an avoidable self-inflicted agony. It is unreasonable to engage in such criminal activity not only because of the resultant economic effect on the country but particularly as it also negatively affects the Niger Delta environment,” Boroh said.
“The act of vandalising pipelines is counter-productive apart from it being a crime against the state. Those involved in this nefarious activity are economic and environmental saboteurs. It will do well for them to refrain from it, as my office is always open to dialogue regardless of their grievances.
“The federal government already has in place a well-structured reintegration programme for youths of the region, which has helped in maintaining the peace and stabilising security of the region. The Amnesty Programme has made militancy unattractive in the region mainly because of the government’s sincerity and commitment to the programme. The proper thing is for those behind such activity to embrace dialogue.”
Commending security agencies for their commitment to ensuring peace in the region, he warned that his office would not hesitate to delist and bring to book any beneficiary of the programme that engages in criminal activity.
Meanwhile, the joint military force (JMF) in the Niger Delta said it had arrested 16 suspects who allegedly vandalised pipelines and engaged in illegal bunkering in Delta.
Isa Ado, spokesman of the force, made this known during a news conference at the 222 Battalion Headquarters in Ughelli in Delta on Friday.
Ado said that the suspects were nabbed in two separate operations in the state.
According to him, in one of the operations, the force recovered 124 pieces of oil pipes valued at over N18 million at Otokutu village in Ughelli.
He said the pipes, meant for a project at Aburah, were stolen from the oil fields operated by Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), adding that four suspects, including an NPDC staff member, were arrested.
Other items recovered included a Toyota Sports Utility Van (SUV) kept at the 222 battalion headquarters.
Ado said in the second operation: “Our troops from the Maritime Component, NNS DELTA, found and destroyed many illegal oil bunkering sites between April 22 and 24.
“The sites were located around Tagola community, near Egwa 1 in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta.
“Items recovered include six 10,000 litres capacity storage tanks, 30 drums and plastic tanks containing substances suspected to be stolen crude.
“Also, 12 suspects were arrested along SPDC-Forcados Line with two large boats carrying 39 plastic tanks filled with illegally refined diesel and 13 pumping machines.
“The items and suspects are in custody of NNS DELTA for preliminary investigations.”
Ado urged community leaders to discourage their youths from vandalism, and assist the force with credible information that will lead to arrest of culprits.

Full Report:
[size=15pt]Kelechi Iheanacho has a better minute-to-goal ratio than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez... the Manchester City forward is Europe's deadliest player[/size]
- Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as Manchester City defeated Stoke 4-0
- Iheanacho's double took his tally to 11 in all competitions this season
- The 19-year-old's 11 goals have come at an average of every 81.27 minutes
- Luis Suarez is 83.77, Cristiano Ronaldo 84.21 and Lionel Messi 95.95

His 11 goals have come at an average of every 81.27 minutes - better than anyone in Europe's top five leagues

Iheanacho scored twice for Manchester City as they swept aside Stoke 4-0 in the Premier League on Saturday
In Manchester the spotlight on one of the hottest young talents falls on the red side of the city in Marcus Rashford. The Manchester United teenager has lit up their season with his goalscoring exploits - netting seven goals in 14 appearances since making his debut in February.
However, their 'noisy neighbours' Manchester City can boast an equally as devastating young striker in Kelechi Iheanacho.
The 19-year-old is quietly blossoming into a clinical finisher at City, and this was highlighted by his two goals in their 4-0 Premier League win over Stoke on Saturday.
That double took his overall tally to 11 in the season and a stat that sees him crowned as Europe's deadliest marksman.
Iheanacho can lay claim to being the most prolific goalscorer in Europe's top five league based on minutes played.
His minute-to-goal ratio stands at 81.27 - a figure that surpasses illustrious forwards such Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Based on players having scored 10 goals or more this term in all competitions, Iheanacho's nearest challenger is Barcelona forward Luis Suarez. The 29-year-old has scored 53 times at a minute-to-goal ratio of 83.77.
Real Madrid duo Ronaldo (47 goals) and Karim Benzema (27) sit third and fourth respectively in this list at 84.21 and 85.93 respectively.
Paris Saint-Germain talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic rounds out the top five with his 42 goals coming every 88.45 minutes.
Messi is 8th in this list with his 40 goals for Barcelona coming every 95.95 minutes.
Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski (38 goals) is 10th at 98.89 with Gareth Bale (18) next at a ratio of a strike every 106.39 minutes.
Aside from Iheanacho, only City team-mate Sergio Aguero and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge are from the Premier League inside the top 20.
Aguero's minute-to-goal ratio of 112.89 places him 13th while Sturridge finds him 16th with 121.73.
Real Madrid visit the Etihad for the first leg of City's first Champions League semi-final, offering Iheanacho the chance to challenge himself against the likes of Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale.
'I think I should dream about that because it's a great team to dream about,' he said. 'It would be a dream come true to play against them.
'Ronaldo and Messi are the greatest players on the planet so I think playing against them is a big thing to anyone. It would be a big thing to me if I play against him on Tuesday.'
'(If I was picked) I would feel very great, I would feel very happy. I would grab the opportunity and really work hard.'
If the young Nigerian does feature on Tuesday then Real's defence have been warned.
