Police in Nigeria say they have uncovered a plot to commence massive and coordinated attacks on oil installations across the country.
Force Spokesman, Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, said in a statement in Abuja that the attacks would be carried out in the Niger-Delta region and adjoining states.
He said the elements were claiming to be climate and environmental activists. “These plots, which are politically motivated, are aimed at sabotaging oil installations with intended negative consequences on national security, economic development and global oil market,“he said.
