The Joint Military Force deployed to the Niger-Delta, Operation Delta Safe, says it has arrested two suspected militants who are masterminds of recent attacks on oil infrastructure in the region.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Rear Adm. Suileman Apochi, Commander of Operation Delta Safe, presented the suspects to newsmen on Thursday in Yenagoa.
The commander noted that the activities of the duo were responsible for the slump in oil output, following several attacks and threats to oil firms to succumb to their demands.
“I am glad to announce that two notorious kingpins, identified as General Eagle’ and ‘General VIP, have been apprehended and from interrogation, they had admitted to committing several crimes.
“The self-acclaimed ‘General Eagle’ said he recently organised and blew up one of the oil company’s risers at Golubokin along Obama-Brass pipeline in Bayelsa.
“He also claimed responsibility in the planting of explosives at Agip oilfields,” said Apochi.
