Nigeria’s main militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, said it’s planning a “ferocious” attack on the country’s downstream oil industry soon.

Residents living close to depots that store petroleum products such as aviation fuel, diesel, kerosene, gasoline, propane gas and engine oil should evacuate the areas immediately, the group, known as MEND, said in an e-mailed statement today.
