“We have now resumed” – Niger Deltamilitants blow up pipeline

It seems the Niger Delta militants have resumed their
operations… shortly after President Jonathan lost his re-
election bid.

A militant group identified as Urhobo Gbagbako, blew
up the NPDC Oil pipelines at Ighrenene, Afiesere and
Ekiugbo communities in Delta State on Thursday, April
2.
The group sent an email to journalists claiming
responsibility for the bombing.
According to the spokesperson of the group, Priest
Omodjuvwu, they decided to blow up the oil pipeline
following the continued neglect of the Urhobo militants
in the pipelines protection contracts offered to ex-
militants from other ethnic groups.
Omdjuvwu said their action was meant to draw
government attention and demand to be included in
the pipeline protection contracts.
“We have now resumed attack on the NPDC pipeline
facilities on a massive scale, which scale of bombings
shall be unprecedented.”
