Spokesman Mudoch Agbinibo made this confirmation in a statement.

He said: “At about 3:00 am (0200 GMT) to 5:00 am, the Niger Delta Avengers blew up Nembe 1, 2 and 3 trunkline in Bayelsa/Rivers states,”

Desmond Agu, the spokesman of the Nigerian Civil Defence and Security Corps (NCDSC), had earlier confirmed the attack on the Tebidaba-Brass pipeline.

“Reports from the swamp area indicate that… a gang of heavily armed youths with two double 200-horsepower speedboats used explosives to blast three different points.”

The pipeline in Bayelsa state, owned by the Nigerian Agip Oil Company, a local subsidiary of Italian oil major Eni, has been repeatedly attacked.

On Monday, an oil well-head operated by Chevron was also attacked in Delta state.
