Militants claim attack on NPDC pipelines in Nigeria's Delta

< The destroyed Ogor-Oteri major delivery line >

 

The Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate said it attacked the Ogor-Oteri pipeline in Delta state, operated by Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) and Nigerian energy company Shoreline, on 30th August.

Just a day before, Niger Delta Avengers, the group that claimed responsibility for most attacks in the impoverished region where militants want a greater share of the country's oil wealth, said it had halted hostilities.

OPEC member Nigeria has seen its oil output fall by around 700,000 barrels a day to 1.56 million bpd due to attacks on oil pipelines in the southern energy hub, home to much of the country's oil and gas wealth, since the start of the year.

The group criticized other militants for participating in talks with the government. It said others had merely sought to harass the Nigerian state and the oil multinationals into parting with money.
