An
oil pipeline operated by a subsidiary of Italian oil major Eni in Bayelsa, on
Friday has been blown up by the Niger Delta Avengers.
“At
about 3:00 am (0200 GMT) to 5:00 am, the Niger Delta Avengers blew up Nembe 1,
2 and 3 trunkline in Bayelsa/Rivers states,” spokesman Mudoch Agbinibo said in
a statement.
Desmond
Agu, the spokesman of the Nigerian Civil Defence and Security Corps (NCDSC),
had earlier confirmed the attack on the Tebidaba-Brass pipeline.
“Reports
from the swamp area indicate that… a gang of heavily armed youths with two
double 200-horsepower speedboats used explosives to blast three different
points.” The pipeline in Bayelsa state, owned by the Nigerian Agip Oil Company,
a local subsidiary of Italian oil major Eni, has been repeatedly attacked.
