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.
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you

I said it yesterday, his situation is a delicate one, more dangerous than Shitti and BH issues. Because any escalation by those people behind Tompolo will drastically affect the Nigerian economy which is already suffering due to drop of oil prices. We need to handle it with care please. The rich can afford to fly their families out, then the grass would be left to suffer due to fight of two bulls/elephants/lions.

Nobody is above the law of Nigeria. If he is found corrupt, he should be arrested and prosecuted like others. Let them blown up everything, we will all suffer it. A man who thrown stone into the market should not also forget that his family member are in the market. That should not be a threat. Oil is going down very quickly and we will see what will become of them.

This is the real problem Buhari will face if that man is been arrested, everybody knows what those MEND can do in their backyard, i do suggest that buhari Govt should settle that case amicably and allow peace to rain to avoid regrettable damages from those Militant group called MEND that will course Nigeria.

"the attacks started shortly before midnight and lasted till the early hours of Friday morning." this signals something deadlier than Boko haram and even ISIS. But no individual is mightier than Nigeria. Nigeria should be diversify and focus more on Agriculture as crude oil seems competitive lately. These guys are so lazy and evil, very active when it comes to vandalisation but lazy to work.
