Nigeria- A Chevron oil installation in Warri, Southern Nigeria, has been completely destroyed by Niger Delta Militants.
The installation is about 40 nautical miles from the Escravos terminal, Reuters say.
The platform is located in Abiteye, Warri North council area of Delta State.
The Niger Delta Avengers, a militant group who'd recently threatened to bomb oil facilities, have claimed responsibility for the attack.
“We want to pass this message to the all international oil companies operating in the Niger Delta that the Nigeria Military can’t protect their facilities. They should talk to the federal government to meet our demands else more mishaps will befall their installations.
“Until our demands are met, no repair works should be done at the blast site.”
An official of the Department of State Services (DSS), who confirmed the incident to Vanguard, said the militants totally destroyed the platform using dynamites.
The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) had threatened to cripple Nigeria’s economy if President Buhari does not hold a Sovereign National Conference for Nigerians to choose whether they still want to stay together.
