LAGOS, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- A militant group operating in the oil rich Niger Delta region, Joint Revolutionary Council (JRC), said it has successfully disabled the trunk line operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in the swamp of Obunoma in southeast Nigeria's Rivers State.

Bakabio Walter, the group spokesman, announced this in a statement reaching here on Sunday.

The trunk line connects Nembe Creek, Belema, Soku Field, Ekulama 1 and 2 flow stations to the Bonny Export Terminal in Bonny Island of Rivers state, the group said.

The JRC said it would mobilize all patriotic forces in the Niger Delta to wage a consistent revolutionary war until the last piece of its territory was liberated from the occupation forces.

The group, which resumed armed struggle, said the attack dealt a devastating blow on the occupation of Nigerian state in the crude oil and gas-rich region.

It described it as just the beginning in its battle that would lead to the establishment of a free and independent Niger Delta.
