Again, Avengers bomb NNPC gas pipeline in A-Ibom

….Ibom Patriots warn Avengers to limits its bombings to Delta

Niger Delta Avengers on Sunday night allegedly blew up the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, gas pipeline at Nsite Ibom Local
Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
But a pressure group, Ibom Patriots, has advised the rampaging militants
to limit their nefarious activities to Delta State, where they have
destroyed many pipelines in a desperate bid to cripple the economy.
The group aligned itself with the statement credited to the Vice
President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo that the Avengers were fighting for
their own pockets, asking why this current spate of bombings as soon as
the federal government declared Tompolo wanted over alleged corrupt
enrichment.
Coordinator of the group, Udeme Bassey warned that no ethnic group has the
monopoly to embark on violent activities as the Avengers were currently
doing and reiterated call that they should not venture into Akwa Ibom
land.
According to the group, it would take several years to clean the spills
caused by such dastard acts, saying that Akwa Ibom state has been a
peaceful and that the environment was the only heritage of the people, and
destroying it as the militant group was doing tantamount to self-inflicted
pains.
The spokesperson of the militant group, self-styled Brigadier General 
Mudoch Agbinibo, in a statement, challenged NNPC to “check their pipeline
if it is ‘system anomaly.’
” The statement read: “At 11:30pm on Sunday, the NDA blow up Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), gas pipeline at Nsit-Ibom L.G.A,
Akwa Ibom state. NNPC should check their pipeline if it’s “system Anomaly.
‘’Asking the NNPC to check if it was system anomaly is an allusion to the
exchange between the militant group and Exxon Mobil, which initially
denied an attack on its export line in Akwa-Ibom state,  saying that it
was a system anomaly, only to declare force majeure days later.’’
