Massive Oil Spill as Niger Delta Avengers Blow Up Oil Facilities Again

 
Unrepentant Niger Delta militant group, Niger Delta Avengers has attacked a crude oil trunkline belonging to the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria in Batan, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State with massive oil spill polluting the environment, according to the Punch.
 
The criminal incident occurred at the wee hours of 12:05am on Monday without any interference by military operatives safeguarding the region. According to reports,  the fresh attack happened around Camp 3, few kilometres away from the spot where the militants had recently also attacked oil installations early this month.

It took soldiers over five hours before finally confirming the attack due to the remote area of the explosion.

Findings revealed that a technical team from Pipelines and Product Marketing Company drafted to the spot could not curtail the spill as of 4.32pm, as crude was said to still be gushing out of the attacked pipeline.

Sources from the community, who confirmed the attack to a correspondent, said soldiers had a difficult time locating the attacked pipeline because of it remoteness in the swamp of Batan.

The sources said the militants shot sporadically for some minutes before detonating devices to blow up the pipeline. A top military officer confirmed the attack when contacted by a correspondent, saying his men had a hard time identifying the spot as it was too remote for military personnel to easily access.

The Chairman of Batan Community, Dickson Ogugu, when contacted, confirmed the incident and appealed to the militants to halt their hostility on oil installations in the region especially within the Batan axis.
 
The militants in a press statement over the weekend threatened the Nigerian government about a massive explosion and it appears they have lived up to the threat with the magnitude of this attack.

See the Korean Statue of Jesus Christ That Everyone Is Talking About (Photo)

Image
A statue of Jesus in Korea is causing a lot of reaction on social media because of its unusual depiction of the Christ.     This photo above has caused ripples online after it emerged recently.   The cause of reaction is the unsually muscular depiction of Jesus. Many internet users have argued that if Jesus Christ was that huge, he would probably not have been crucified at all. In fact, many opined that the opposite would have been the case as Jesus would have been the one crushing the people with his strength.   The photo was shared by an IMGUR user by the username, Geekologie.   He said:  "This is a Korean crucifix featuring a very muscular Jesus. I'm not entirely sure where it's located, but presumably outside the Church of Gains. Honestly, if Jesus really did look like that there probably never would have been a crucifixion, just 'the day Jesus killed all the Romans swinging a cross.'"
