Breaking! Oil Pipeline Blown up Again by Militants

                                                   

                   

Militants have reportedly blown up an oil pipeline belonging to Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, and Shorelines Petroleum Nigeria in Delta State. Daily post reports that blown up a pipeline is a major delivery line for NPDC, and was blown up at 3.am on Tuesday, despite the ongoing military drill in the Niger Delta region code-named, “Operation Crocodile Smile.”

A statement by Niger Delta Greenland Justice Movement, NDGJM, the group’s leader, “Gen” Aldo Agbalaja, said the attack was carried out by its Uproot Team B, adding that it was also launching “Operation Crocodile Tears” in response to the military’s “Operation Crocodile Smile.”

The militant group also warned of an “impending bloodbath” in the Niger Delta region, stressing that it can no longer “sit quietly” and watch its people killed and harassed by the military.

NDGJM told indigenes of the oil-rich region to hold President Muhammadu Buhari responsible for the impending “bloodbath”. The statement reads in part

 “To this end, we are alerting all those working in the UQCC/UPS Erhomukokwarien in Ughelli, Eriemu Pigging Manifold in Agbarha, Otorogun Gas Plant, Olomoro Flow Station, Warri Refinery, Port Harcourt Refinery, Eleme, OB-OB and Obite gas plants in Omoku to evacuate because what is coming to those facilities are beyond what anybody has seen before.

 “The world should, however, note that the bloodbath that is about to commence in our already beaten, battered, squeezed and impoverished homeland, the Niger Delta. It is all the baby of the Nigerian government; they are the people, who are in one breath preaching resolution through dialogue and also breathing bullets and bombs on a troubled, but trusting people.

“Hold the Nigerian President responsible for the genocide that his armed forces is about to unleash on our people.”
