The militant group which claimed responsibility for the attack on its Twitter handle said; "3:am of Friday @NDAvengers blow up the Obi Obi Brass Trunk line belonging to Agip ENI. It is Agip's Major Crude oil Line in Bayelsa State".
NDA in a footnote that followed the tweet however expressed delight that foreign refineries had allegedly stopped buying Nigerian crude oil ostensibly because Nigeria state has been robbing the Niger Delta of her oil and gas resources, the group added.
