“NDA blew up Chevron oil well RMP 23 and 24 3:44 am this morning,” the group said, without giving details, reports Reuters.

Only Tuesday the Nigeria military announced that it had deployed airforce jets, gun boats and more soldiers in a bid to curtail the activities of the militants, whose attacks on oil installations was adversely affecting the economy.
