| Did Niger Delta Avengers blow up Bonny Export Pipeline in solidarity with Biafran Global Protest? |
On Saturday, September 24th, the news filtered in that Niger Delta Avengers had on Friday, September 23, 2016 destroyed a major oil export pipeline in Bonny, Rivers State. The action marked the end of temporary ceasefire the Avengers have been observing. The date chosen was quite significant as it was the same day the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) undertook a global protest to demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the Biafran leader, currently being illegally detained by the Nigerian government.
Whereas global protest took place outside Nigeria, people in Biafraland observed a Sit-at-home-home protests that recorded historic 98% compliance. Before the end of the day, Avengers struck, to probably register their support for the free Nnamdi Kanu protest.
