As reported in the Nigerian publication The Will and Upstream, the Nigerian militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) claims to have detonated explosives at an offshore platform and taken seven workers hostage.
Per Upstream:
The ExxonMobil attack took place a week after a similar raid on a rig operated by the exploration company Afren in the same waters off the state of Akwa Ibom, in which two Americans, two Frenchmen, two Indonesians and a Canadian were kidnapped.
