New Niger Delta militant group, Greenland blows up oil pipeline in Delta

A new militant group, Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, has reportedly blown up an oil pipeline in Delta State.

This is coming barely 24 hours after it had threatened to carry out major attacks on oil installations in the upland of the Niger Delta region should the Federal Government fail to hear them out.

The group reportedly blew up a major trunk line operated by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company in Isoko, which feeds Eriemu Manifold, Vanguard reports.

NDGJM has since claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was part of the group’s demolition of oil facilities tagged ‘Operation Zero.’
