Following the expiration of the 2-week ultimatum issued to the owners of
oil blocks and oil companies to evacuate their staff from the Niger Delta,
militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, Thursday morning bombed the main
pipeline supplying gas that provides electricity to Escravos Tank Farm in
Delta State owned by Chevron.
The group had on May 12 issued a 2-week ultimatum to owners of oil blocks
notably former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and former Defence Minister,
Theophilus Danjuma to evacuate their staff or face the wrath of the group.
The group, in its twitter handle said the action was carried out after
Chevron ignored their warning.
“We Warned #Chevron but they didn’t Listen. @NDAvengers just blow up the
Escravos tank farm Main Electricity Feed PipeLine”, the group tweeted.
