Delta State. In an email sent to reporters claiming

yesterday April 2nd, the spokesperson of the
group, Priest Omodjuvwu, said the group, which
consist of ex-militants, men, women & children of
Urhobo origin, decided to blow up the oil pipeline
following the continued neglect of the Urhobo
militants in the pipelines protection contracts
offered to ex-militants from other ethnic groups.
Spokesperson of the militant group, Mr Omdjuvwu
said they decided to blow up the pipeline to draw
government attention and demand to be included
in the pipeline protection contracts.
"We have now resumed attack on the NPDC
pipeline facilities on a massive scale, which scale
of bombings shall be unprecedented," the email
