Barely hours after they told people to “Watch out something big is about to happen and it will shock the whole world”, the Niger Delta Avengers have announced a double strike targeted at oil giants Shell and Agip.

A tweet around 6:30 this morning from the militant group’s official Twitter handle Niger Delta Avengers ‏@NDAvengers announced: “At About 2;15am on Saturday the @NDAvengers blow up Nembe 1, 2 and 3 Brass to Bonny Trunk Line belonging to Agip and Shell.”

As reported by News Express earlier this morning, the militant group, which has mounted a bombing campaign against oil pipelines, on Friday threatened “something big” even as they wished Nigerian youngsters a Happy Children’s Day.
