LAGOS (Thomson Financial) – The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the main armed group in the south of Nigeria, confirmed on Friday it was responsible for the sabotage of a Royal Dutch Shell pipeline on Thursday, some four days after its initial attack on the oil major.
In a message to Agence France-Presse, MEND said it successfully attacked a pipeline run by Shell Petroleum Development (nasdaq: PETD – news – people ) Company on the Kula River in Rivers state on Thursday.
No official at Shell was available for comment on MEND’s latest claim on Friday.
MEND advised oil companies ‘not to waste their time’ repairing oil pipelines, warning it will continue to sabotage them.
On Monday, MEND had already claimed responsibility for the sabotage of two Shell pipelines at Isaka River and Abonnema River, also in Rivers state, as part of ‘Operation Cyclone’, which is aimed at destroying Nigeria’s oil export industry.

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.
