Saboteurs blew up an oil pipeline operated by Italy's Agip in Nigeria's southern Niger Delta late on Friday, the military said on Saturday.
Brigadier-General Wuyep Rimtip, commander of the joint military taskforce in the western Niger Delta, said the pipeline had been attacked between the villages of Odimodi and Ogulagha in Delta state.
"It was not a militant attack, it was saboteurs because they used dynamite to blow up the pipeline. We have reported it to Agip," Rimtip told Reporters.
He said the pipeline ran through an area whose ownership was disputed by communities living in Odimodi and Ogulagha.
