Oil pipelines in OML (oil mining lease) 30 and 34 in Delta region were set on fire late on Tuesday and the fires have been extinguished, a community leader told Reuters.
“The fire has been put out and soldiers are there now,” said Lucky Sorue, chairman of the Urhobo committee on oil and gas.
The fires were set after Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo visited the Delta for talks with militants whose attacks have crippled crude production in the region.
