Attackers set NNPC crude pipeline on fire in Niger Delta

None

YENAGOA - Attackers have set fire to a crude oil pipeline in Nigeria's restive Niger Delta, a military spokesman said on Saturday, the second strike in the country's oil hub within a day.

 

A militant group had earlier said it attacked the pipeline, which is run by the state oil firm NNPC and a local private firm, Shoreline, near Ughelli on Friday night.

 

"The Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is not kidding with anybody," the militants said in a statement.
