A new armed militant group in Nigeria's Niger Delta,
"The Niger Delta Avengers" today destroyed the main pipeline supplying
gas that provides electricity to the Escravos tank farm in Delta state
owned by Chevron.
In a tweet sent from its account on Twitter, the group
said the latest action was carried out after Chevron ignored its May 12
warning not to fix a major crude pipeline blown up by the group early
in the month.
The group did not disclose if the latest attack led to human casualties.
