The Nigerian most prominent rebel group(MEND) says it carried out an unprecedented attack on an oil tanker facility close to the main commercial city of Lagos. The depot and loading tankers moored at the facility are currently on fire "said the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger-Delta(MEND).
If this incident is confirmed it will be a major escalation in Mend's activities, It's previous activities/attacks have been mostly in the Rivers and Delta State of the South South Geo-Political Region. Such attack has severely cut the the Nations oil out put. Production has been cut to almost by a fifth in the last three(3) years due to the violence situation in the region.
In a statement, Mend said that "heavily armed" men had "carried out an unprecedented attack on the Atlas Cove Jetty in Lagos" at 2230 hours Nigerian time on Sunday.
This show that Nigerian Intelligent services are not up to standard and they can hardly defeat Mend in this their war of destruction.
On the other hand the Nigerian Govt should look into the course of this violence in a view of finding amicable solution as sending the JTF to curb the violence has not yielded any result thus far.
