hours of today blew up trunk lines
belonging to NAOC and SPDC.

@NDAvengers blow up Nembe 1, 2 and 3
Brass to Bonny Trunk Line belonging to
Agip and Shell,” the NDA stated in a tweet.
The NDA has threatened to do something
that will shock the whole world. In a series
of tweets, the militants revealed that they
blew up another oil pipeline belonging to
the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) on Thursday, May 26,
which they claimed was heavily guarded by
the Nigerian military.
The group also blasted the Niger Delta
stakeholders over the meetings they held in
the region, stating that they want a
sovereign state and not pipeline contracts.
In a related development, soldiers invaded
Oporoza, the traditional headquarters of
Gbaramatu kingdom, at about 1.52 am, this
morning and were still laying siege to the
community as at 8am.
The soldiers, who came in no fewer than
seven gunboats, allegedly beat up residents,
including an octogenarian community
leader, Chief Atiti Mala, with the butt of a
gun.
“They were asking the helpless villagers to
produce former militant leader,
Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo,
and members of the Niger Delta Avengers,”
a youth leader told the newspaper on
phone.
