Another attack by suspected militants in the Niger Delta on two pipelines conveying crude oil and gas are threatening the operations of two of the nation’s refineries and power plants.
The attack comes a day after Chevron’s Okan offshore production platform
around Escravos in Warri, Delta State was blown up, a development that led to the shutdown of the facility by the oil major.
On Thursday night, a pipeline transporting crude oil to Warri and Kaduna and a 16-inch gas line, owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, were blown up.
A group known as Niger Delta Avengers has claimed responsibility for the explosion.
