Niger Delta Avengers Bomb Shell, Agip Oando Export Trunk Lines

The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, today, November 15, 2016, claims its ‘’Elite Strike Team 03’ bombed crude oil export trunk lines operated by oil majors Shell, Agip and Oando with a supply capacity of 300,000 barrels per day. This was made known in a press release by self-styled Brig. General Murdoch Agbinibo, the Spokesman of the militant group. Full text of the press release reads:

‘At about 11.45pm November 15, 2016, our Elite Strike Team 03 struck Nembe 1, 2 and 3 truck (sic) line operated by Agip, Oando and Shell with supply capacity of 300,000 barrel per day to Bonny export terminal in Bayelsa State. This is in response to the so-called " Operations Sharkbite" an art of terrorism commissioned by the tyranny of the Nigerian Navy establishment and orchestrated by some elements of the ruling political class to continuously undermine any effort by the Nigerian state to addressing the legitimate demands of the people of the Niger Delta and as well a conspiracy to bloat the accounts of some security contractors and conflict merchants within the party structure of the APC.

We are only reiterating our strong resolve that, time is running against the Nigerian government, that there is doom ahead. The Nigerian government need our cooperation more than we need the government as it concerns the extraction of the crude oil and hydrocarbon resources in our God-given land. We are determined to continue this war by all means necessary, until that environment prevails for a genuine dialogue and negotiations within the framework of the sixteen point key demands presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by PANDEF on the 1st of November 2016.

We want the peace with honour, we don't want the Peace of Our Time. Since that moment military was drafted into the Niger Delta as an instrument of suppression to our fatherland against all peaceful protest and legitimate demands the fear had gone. The message is getting stronger with more messengers.

Brig. Gen Murdoch Agbinibo

Spokesperson.
