Oct 22, 2013 – Niger Delta Militants, MEND Bomb Warri NNPC Oil Refinery

Earlier today, a major fire was spotted at the NNPC refinery in Warri city, Delta State.

Though the fire was later quenched 40 minutes after, but a lot of damage has been done.

Moments after the fire, Niger Delta’s militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) released a media statement claiming responsibility for the attack.

In a statement, MEND claim they intend to destroy the whole refinery.
