Niger Delta Avengers have accepted responsibility on the explosion that rocked Akwa Ibom State in the wee hours of Sunday 24 July 2016.
According to the Niger Delta Avengers, blowing off a NNPC gas pipe line in Nsit Ibom was a way of announcing their presence in the state. In a statement, the spokesperson for the group, Mudoch Agbinibo, said the facility was blown up at about 11:30pm on Sunday night.
It asked the NNPC authorities to check their facility whether they will claim if it was ‘system Anomaly’ as Exxon Mobil recently did before later affirming similar attack on their facilities in the state.
The statement read, “11:30pm on Sunday, the NDA blow up Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), gas pipeline at Nsit-Ibom L.G.A, Akwa Ibom state. NNPC should check their pipeline if it’s ‘system Anomaly’.”
The sound of the explosion which took place at about 11.30 pm on Sunday, was followed by a huge flame that brighten that whole area.
The scare was so obvious that some persons were at the verge of leaving their houses for dear lives if not for the fact that the fire started reducing after about one hour.
The Avengers claimed responsibility for similar attacks on oil and gas facilities since renewed militancy in the region begun.
