Unic Press UK: Contrary to the position of ExxonMobil, a subsidiary Mobil Producing Nigeria, that the Niger Delta Avengers – a militant group from the Niger Delta region – did not blow up the Qua Iboe 48″ crude oil export pipeline, the militants have issued a warning saying that, should the oil giant proceed with repairs on the blown up export pipeline, there will be severe consequences.
From the website of the Niger Delta Avengers, reads:
“When we published the Que Iboe 48-inches crude oil export line was blown by us (Niger Delta Avengers) ExxonMobil denied it, but now ExxonMobil has admitted that the 48” pipeline we (Niger Delta Avengers) blow up is “System Anomaly.
“Exxonmobil and Akwa Ibom government can deny Niger Delta Avengers is not in Akwa Ibom state but we want them to know one of our elite strike team is based in Akwa Ibom State.
“We are warning Exxonmobil not to carry out any repair work on the blown pipeline if they refuse and go ahead with any repair work something big and worst will happen.”
