The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), the militant group which has claimed responsibility for most attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta, says it has blown up an oil facility of Agip ENI in Bayelsa state.
The group, which claims it is fighting for the independence of the region, disclosed this in a tweet on Friday.
It tweeted: “3 am of Friday @NDAvengers blew up the Obi Obi Brass Trunk line belonging to Agip ENI. It is Agip’s major crude oil line in Bayelsa state.
“Good the foreign refineries stop buying Nigerian Oil.”
The federal government had suspended its plan to apply force in routing the militants after meeting with leaders of the region.
It called for dialogue, but the militants rejected the entreaty to negotiate.
