Chevron platform attacked militants
You're referring to the Chevron platform attack in Nigeria!
On October 4, 2019, a militant group attacked a Chevron oil platform in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, resulting in the kidnapping of several foreign workers. The attack was carried out by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), a militant group that has been involved in several attacks on oil facilities in the region.
The NDA claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it was a response to the Nigerian government's failure to address the environmental and economic concerns of the region. The group has been demanding greater control over the region's oil resources and more equitable distribution of the wealth generated by the oil industry.
The attack on the Chevron platform was one of several incidents of violence in the Niger Delta region in recent years, which has disrupted oil production and affected the livelihoods of many people in the region. The Nigerian government has responded to the attacks by deploying military forces to the region and implementing measures to improve security and protect oil facilities.
However, the root causes of the conflict in the Niger Delta region remain unresolved, and the violence continues to pose a significant threat to the region's stability and the global oil market.
