Attack On NNPC Gas Pipeline: Niger Delta Avengers Claims Responsibility

The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) militant
group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for
an attack on a gas pipeline belonging to the
state-run oil company in southern Nigeria.
"At 11:30pm on Sunday, the NDA blew up
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) gas pipeline at Nsit-Ibom," in Akwa
Ibom state, the group said in a terse
statement.
NNPC officials were not immediately
available for comment, but the attack is
bound to worsen gas supplies to power
plants in a country reeling from daily
outages.
The Avengers have claimed a string of
devastating attacks against the NNPC as
well as oil majors Shell, Chevron, Exxon and
Eni since February.
The attacks have reduced output at a time
when Nigeria is struggling with low global
crude prices which have hammered
government revenues, weakening the
country's naira currency and pushing up
inflation to near 11-year highs.
The rebels want oil majors to leave the
Niger delta, blaming them for contributing to
widespread poverty and under-development
of the region.
The group also wants self-determination for
the oil-producing states in the delta region
and political autonomy.
The Avengers have rejected a government
truce to end violence
