The Niger Delta Avengers militant group has said it didn’t blowup the NNPC pipeline in Eleme as widely reported in the media on Wednesday.
The group said some other groups were trying to use its name to carry out their own mission.
The group also disowned the facebook account that announced the blowing up of the Eleme pipeline, adding that it was closing down all its social media accounts, in order to avoid such impersonation.
