This follows the attacks on Chevron’s Estravos pipeline, and another on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation pipelines, earlier this week.
The Nembe pipeline is said to carry the bonny light crude exported by Royal Dutch Shell, though the company is yet to make any official statement on the incident.
The Niger Delta Avengers, a new group of militants in the Niger Delta, had announced on Twitter earlier on Saturday that it had hit the Nembe pipeline.
