The facility is said to be operated by Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NDPC/Shorelines Petroleum
The leader of the group, who identified himself as Gen. Aldo Agbalaja claimed responsibility for the attack.
Agbalaja, in a statement said; “The Niger Delta is not a conquered territory and our people have never succumbed to intimidation before, rather we match force with the oppressor’s brutality. The Nigerian government should already know that the people of this part are not fools, who will not be able to see when they are being treated with disdain.”
The attack is the first since Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, a militant group which had claimed responsibility for most attacks in the Niger Delta region, embraced dialogue with Federal government last month.
However, NDA, earlier today, in a series of picture tweets by its spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo on its twitter handle @AgbiniboNDalso accused the army of harassing old men, women and innocent youths in the region under the guise of hunting for militants.
Agbinibo also mock the Nigerian Army, saying; “The High Command of the Niger delta Avengers present to you the soldiers of the “Operation Crocodile Smile”
“They ‘r scared to death because they can’t swim so they drown all the time. Federal Government is just killing innocent Nigeria Soldiers.”
In another picture tweet showing four armed soldiers with a paddler in a wooden boat, the group said: “With the millions put into the Operation crocodile smile exercise, see the dead boats given to them to fight militants.
“The only thing the soldiers are good at is harassment of old men, women and innocent youths of the Niger Delta.”
