Youths sabotage onshore gas pipeline in Nigeria

摘要

Cape Town-Youths in Nigeria's southern oil patch sabotaged the onshore Escravos- Lagos gas pipeline and abducted two workers, threatening a three-month truce that has led to tentative peace in the restive Niger Delta region. Repairs to failed portions of the pipeline, which is the only remaining source of gas supply to the thermal power plants across the country, have been suspended after youths from the Delta state sabotaged the line and abducted a project manager and welder, local media said December 8.
