Hours after a court ordered the arrest of a former
Niger Delta warlord, Government Ekpemupolo aka
Tompolo, some Niger Delta militants this morning
blew up strategic oil pipelines in Warri South West
local government area in Delta state.
The militants in other coordinated attacks, blew
up oil pipelines between Ikpokpo and Odidi flow
stations, mostly in Gbaramatu kingdom.
Residents of the area say the attacks started
shortly before midnight and lasted till the early
hours of Friday morning. Most of them have fled
their homes for fear of a gun battle between the
militants and the military.
