Dec. 18 (Bloomberg) — The Nigerian ventures of Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Eni SpA reported attacks near their facilities following threats from a militant group.
Shell spokesman Bisi Ojediran said a Shell facility had been attacked, adding that he had no further details. Fidelis Anjou, a spokeman for Eni’s Agip unit, said a blast occurred near a compound in the southern city of Port Harcourt.
The reports followed a warning earlier today by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, that three car bombs were set to detonate “at any minute,” according to an e- mail statement released by the group’s spokesman, Jomo Gbomo.
Nigerian police spokesman Haz Iwendi didn’t immediately respond to calls seeking comment.
Attacks by the militants shut down as much as 631,000 of Shell’s venture earlier this year. Gbomo has repeatedly threatened to “cripple” the oil industry in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest producer, by the end of the year.
MEND wants the government to cede control of the oil industry to the Niger delta states where the crude is pumped. It’s also demanded the release of Mujahid Dokubu Asari, a militia leader jailed on charges of treason, and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, a former governor of Bayelsa state who was impeached and arrested on money-laundering charges.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
