Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers have issued a statement warning
Exxon Mobil not to carry out repairs on its Qua Iboe 48″ crude oil
export pipeline in Akwa Ibom which they claim they blew up last Monday
July 11th. Exxon Mobil had earlier denied the claim but the militant
group insists it carried out the attack. Read their statement below…
When we published the Que Iboe 48-inches crude oil export line was blown
by us (Niger delta avengers) ExxonMobil denied it, but now ExxonMobil
has admitted that the 48” pipeline we (Niger Delta Avengers) blow up is
“System Anomaly”.
We urging them to follow the path of safety by admitting it was blown
but them (ExxonMobil) not admitting it to their traders/international
refineries is none of our business. It will become our (Niger delta
Avengers) business when ExxonMobil carry out repair work on the blown
pipeline. When that time comes it won’t be ExxonMobil declaring false
Majeure but it’s going to be something worst.
Exxonmobil and Akwa Ibom government can deny Niger Delta Avengers is not
in Akwa Ibom state but we want them to know one of our elite strike
team is based in Akwa Ibom State.
We are warning Exxonmobil not to carry out any repair work on the blown
pipeline if they refuse and go ahead with any repair work something big
and worst will happen.
To the traders/international refineries doing business with them, don’t
let ExxonMobil deceive you that the repair work will take three to four
weeks with the level of damage it will take them (ExxonMobil) months to
fixed it.
What happened to Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) crude oil
export pipeline in Forcados is an example to all International Oil
Companies, no repair works until the federal government heed to our
demands.
If ExxonMobil fails to listen to us (Niger Delta Avengers), your
personnel are going to be our next casualties not pipelines.Brig. Gen Mudoch Agbinibo
