Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, says it has attacked another Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) oil well in spite of the heavy military presence in the region.
The group, in a tweet, claimed responsibility for the attack less than 24 hours after the Federal Government’s decision to reduce military presence in the region.
“At 1:00am today, the @NDAvengers blew up Well RMP 20 belonging to Chevron located 20 meters away from Dibi Flow Station in Warri North LGA,” the group’s tweet said.
The group also denied any form of negotiation with the Federal Government, saying: “this is to the general public; we’re not negotiating with any committee. If Federal Government is discussing with any group, they’re doing that on their own.”
However, Chevron’s General Manager on Policies, Government and Public Affairs, Prince Deji Haastrup, has declared that the company would not be making comments on the escalating situation.
THEWILL recalls that the group had previously the company’s two oil wells RMP23 and RMP24 in the same area.
