YENAGOA, Nigeria (Reuters) – Militants in Nigeria’s southern Niger Delta oil hub attacked a pipeline operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the military and a witness said on Wednesday.
The Batan flow station, around Ekweregbene, was attacked, a military spokesman said, while Sheriff Mulade, a witness, said it had taken place at around 1200 GMT.
The flow station is located in a creek between the southern city of Warri and the Forcados oil terminal, which last week resumed crude exports following repairs after an attack.
