Security Operatives in the Niger Delta have been baffled by the recent upgrade of equipment being used by the Niger Delta Avengers in carrying out their sabotage activities. The militant group now uses 'controlled explosion devices' in blowing up oil and gas facilities.
The NDA used the controlled explosion method on Wednesday night when it blew up three Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL, manifolds at Diogbolo, near Dibi in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, without the knowledge of soldiers at the military locations nearby.
Sounding the alarm, President Muhammadu Buhari had recently stated that militants in the Niger Delta region had begun using more sophisticated technology to wreak havoc on oil installations.
"The way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development," President Buhari had said.
Claiming responsibility for Wednesday night's attack, the NDA in a statement by its spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo, said: "Between the hours of 10:50pm and 11:10 pm, our strike team blew up Chevron manifolds."
The militants also wished Muslims a happy Eid Mubarak celebration.
