Niger Delta Avengers: No peace deal yet

Peace is far from being forged in Niger Delta as the Avengers went on the offensive over the weekend destroying oil installations.

By their own accounts on Twitter, they blew up two major Chevron oil wells, close to Abiteye flow station in Delta state.
In the same Delta state, they also blew up two trunk lines of the Nigerian government owned NPDC.

Also an NNPC pipeline supplying crude to Warri refinery was also damaged Friday night.

ALL FIVE OPERATIONS WAS CARRIED OUT BY @NDAvengers STRIKE TEAM. WELL DONE SOLDIERS.

In late June, petroleum ministry sources said a month-long truce had been agreed with militants but the Avengers, who have claimed responsibility for most attacks in recent months, later said they did not “remember” agreeing to a ceasefire.
