Suspected militants in a twin attack on Monday, bombed two oil installations belonging to an oil exploration company, near Batan community in Delta State.
Details of the incident were sketchy, but locals said the explosions occurred at about 12.05 am on Monday, with Dickson Ogugu, Chairman of Batan community confirming the attack, he said: “We heard a double explosion at about 12:05am between Camp 3 and Kokologbene communities.”
The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, have debunked claim by Mr Solomon Dalung, the Minister of Youths and Sports, that he met with members of the NDA at Oporoza, saying he was apparently defrauded by Niger Delta fraudsters.
Spokesman of Avengers, self-styled Brig Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, while reacting to the alleged visit of the minister to Oporoza, said: "The Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, narrated how he mer some self-acclaimed Niger Delta Avengers in Oporoza, Gbaramatu kingdom. We are here to let the public know that Niger Delta fraudsters have defrauded the Minister."
"Niger Delta Avengers cannot stoop so low to send representatives to meet a common Minister of Youths that does not know his work.
"Solomon Dalung has been defrauded and played by Niger Delta fraudsters, he did not hold any meeting with us, Niger Delta Avengers.
"Let me make it clear that any meeting with the Avengers that the international community is not part of, we will not be part of such dialogue as well," Agbinibo added.
