Sahara Reporters has learned that militants near Ogbe-
Ijoh in Warri South West Local Government Area (LGA)
have blown up another section of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline.
Sahara Reporters reliably learned that the incident,
which occurred at the early hours of Friday morning,
was carried out by militants armed with dynamite and
other dangerous weapons.
Confirming the incident, a traditional ruler in the area,
who pleaded for anonymity, disclosed that houses in his
area were shaken to their foundation from the blast.
He stressed that in his opinion the militants responsible
are not only harming the nation but the next generation
of unborn Nigerians.
The traditional ruler also said that he believed the
explosion was significant enough that it would be a set
back in oil production for the country.
Sahara Reporters attempted to reach Colonel Isa Ado,
the spokesman for the Joint Task Force, but he was
unavailable to give official confirmation.
However, other anonymous military sources with
knowledge of the area confirmed the blast.
