Niger Delta militant group, Urhobo Gbagbako, on Friday, claimed responsibility for the bombing of Nigeria Petroleum Development Corporation’s oil pipelines at Ighrenene, Afiesere and Ekiugbo communities on Thursday in Delta State. The group disclosed this in an email sent to journalists, which was signed by its spokesperson, Priest Omodjuvwu, in which it described the development as a move to draw government’s attention to the neglect of Urhobo militants in the pipelines protection contracts offered to ex-militants from other ethnic groups.
The group also said it was planning to shut down all the oil fields in Urhobo and Isoko areas. “We have now resumed attack on the NPDC pipeline facilities on a massive scale, which scale of bombings shall be unprecedented,” the email said. The group said the attacks would continue until the Urhobo got what rightly belonged to them.- PUNCH
