Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Crude Oil Trunk line to
Warri refinery which was recently rejuvenated by the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration to boost the local refining of crude oil in
Nigeria.

lines close to Batan flowstation in Delta state on Saturday at the wee
hours of the day. Sunday morning was greeted with another fatal assault
on two major Chevron oil wells namely the Well 7 and Well 8 close to
Abiteye flow station in Delta state.

Ekpemupolo popularly known as Tompolo.
The Federal Government has earlier being negotiating with
representatives of the numerous militant groups with some days of
