Nigeria militants step up ‘war’
Jakarta, Financeroll.com - Militants have attacked another oil facility in Nigeria’s Delta region, after “declaring war” at the weekend.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) said it had destroyed Shell’s Orubiri flow-station. This is the fourth attack this week. Nigeria’s oil production has been cut by 20% due to the unrest. Col Musa told Reuters news agency that no soldiers had been killed in the attack.
Militants also claimed to have blown up a major oil pipeline at Rumuekpe in Rivers State, but the military could not confirm the attack. (BBC/MDY)
