New Militant Group Blows Up Niger Delta Pipeline

Sunday, August 14, 2016

Nigeria’s Niger Delta saw another one of its crude pipelines sabotaged on August 10. The pipeline, owned by NNPC and Shoreline Natural Resources, was blown up by a previously unknown group called the Delta Greenland Justice Mandate.

“It is true but I don’t have details yet,” Collins Edema, a youth leader, said in a Reuters report. He said the pipeline was on fire.

The Niger Delta region has been hit by a wave of militant attacks on oil and gas pipelines, reducing Nigeria’s crude output by 700,000 barrels a day, according to state oil company NNPC.
