A Niger Delta militant group, that styles itself Koluama
Seven Brothers on Sunday said it carried out a “warning” strike on an oil
facility owned by energy company Conoil in Bayelsa.
The attack was carried out on Friday, by the new group.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps confirmed that
a blast was heard on Friday around a Conoil pipeline in Bayelsa.
The militants threatened a production shut down at the
facility owned by Mike Adenuga.
The Koluama Seven Brothers said in a statement it would
carry out further strikes if its demands, including job creation, were not met
by the company and a traditional leader.
Conoil Producing Nigeria operates six highly prospective
blocks in the Niger Delta and produces over 80,000 barrels of oil per day,
according to information on its website.
