Nigeria’s most prominent rebel group says it carried out an “unprecedented attack” on an oil tanker facility close to the main commercial city of Lagos.
“The depot and loading tankers moored at the facility are currently on fire,” said the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend).
Security sources told the BBC they had received reports of an explosion and 30 minutes of gunfire in the city.
