JTF Vows to Identify Militants Behind Pipelines Attack in Delta

The Joint Task Force (JTF) has pledged to fish out those responsible for the multiple armed attacks on strategic oil and gas pipelines in Delta State. This was made known by Major-General Alani Gafar Okunola, the Commander of the JTF, who led other military officers to some of the sites of the destruction on Sunday. He said the leaders of the communities where acts of sabotage take place will be held responsible. While at the site of the destroyed Egwa 1 in Warri South-West council area of Delta State, Gen. Okunlola reiterated that the recent resurgence of militant activities is unacceptable, vowing that those behind it would be brought to book. Debris of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were seen all round; they were said to have been used to bomb pipelines owned by the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
