Mr President gave the directive following the group’s attack on Chevron’s platform in Warri, Delta State, on Thursday and its blowing up of pipelines linking Warri and Kaduna refineries on Friday.
Following the attack on the Okan offshore production platform on Wednesday by the militants, Chevron said it had lost about 105,000 barrels of oil production in three days.
According to Punch, the oil major said the incident had affected about 35,000 barrels per day of its own net crude production, or about 15 per cent of its output in the country.
“Approximately 35,000 bpd of Chevron’s net crude oil production in Nigeria are impacted,” AFP quoted a Chevron’s spokeswoman, Isabel Ordonez, as saying in a statement.
The General Manager, Policy, Government and Public Affairs, Chevron Nigeria Limited, Mr. Deji Haastrup, confirmed the figure.
He said, “This is a very difficult time for the country because it needs the revenue it can get from oil production. Incidents such as this have the potential to impact that. We do hope that it does not seriously affect the country.”
Workers on the pipelines said before the attack, they had pumped 28,000 barrels from Escravos terminal.
“Both Warri and Kaduna refineries also got a delivery rate of 903,000 barrels just before the attacks,” the workers who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
Following the attacks, there were about 10 military air patrols over the pipelines on Saturday.
It had been difficult for fire fighters to quench the fire from the bombed pipelines. “The fire is still on and it’s going to be hard to stop it because it’s huge,” the workers said on Saturday night.
It was learnt that following the attacks, which has the potential of affect the revenue of Nigeria, Buhari had instructed the Army, Navy and Air Force to stop the activities of the militants immediately.
A presidential aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The President gave special instruction to the military, especially to the Chief of Naval Staff, that this ugly development of vandals in the Niger Delta should end immediately.
“What they are doing is complete economic sabotage; it is economic terrorism.”
What about the Fulani herdsmen who have being killing in the name of protecting their cattle.
I surely expected to see such comments.
This is the worst president i have seen in the zoo called Nigeria, instead of to make peace and settle things amicably, he’s ordering soldiers to go and kill because it’s in eastern part of Nigeria, what a stupid president

It will not be easy for the military to crush the militant.What your president is asking for is another war
Biafra is the answer
Funny president. Since herdesman killing an innocent people in Nigeria, what did you do about it or did you make any comment out the killing. You are not a good president because you allow tribalism and you promote war against your people. When is our govt stop the killing his people and shedding blood
How can he make peace with book haram and Fulani herdesman. You should think before you comment.
What are you taking about , who is making peace with Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen ? You are the one who should think before taking
Stupid is understatement he is an Animal in human body
If he is making peace with Boko haram why did he move army camp to maidukuri to focus and fight Boko haram
We Nigerian we are just tribalism country

But he is negotiating with boko haram. And pleading with Fulani herds men. Now he is giving order to kill militant and all easterners.

He is negotiating with bokoharam and pleading with Fulani herds men. Now he is giving order to kill the militants. Any where if the militants allow that to happen.

#OCCUPYINGMINDS: #NIGERDELTAMILITANTS…Every time a Crude Flow Station is Destroyed by Militants in the Niger Delta, The Environment is Damaged; Our Land is Polluted and Our Communities are subjected to more hardships…Let the Bombing Continue, who will loose?…The Government of PMB is dragging the Nigerian Economy away from Crude Oil; Lagos State has Joined the League of Oil Producing State and the Northern Part of Nigeria whose Reserves have been Cynically suppressed over the Year will begin production within the next couple of months or within the next two years…With time, We from the Niger Delta would have destroyed our Lands so much that future generation will curse us, their Fathers and Mothers for killing their dreams. Let the Stupidity Continue my People…Don’t stop the blowing up of pipelines.
Everyone of us thinks that a Blown Pipeline is an attack on PMB and His Government of Change…Insanity on display I must say. Kano and Lagos are Leading the way in Tomatoes Paste Production and Tomatoes don dey scarce shebi? The Northern Landmass alone is about 4 times the entire Landmass of the SS and the SE; Agriculture will revolutionize the North within the next decade…We from the Niger Delta will use our Oil to sock Garri and we think we are punishing Nigeria? Think Again, but Kontinu.
I have been reliably informed, that the More Pipeline we blow-up, the more the Resolve of this President to get the Nigerian Economy off oil…The More the Presidency block loopholes; The More the desire for alternative Revenue;The More the Nigerian People get pissed off by our Stupidity….The Future is Lost to the Greedy, Selfish Demons of Today. Blow Pipelines if you can, Nigeria is moving on…We have a President who is capable of making the hard decisions and willing to firmly sustain those hard choices….Blow Pipelines abeg…Let Nigeria Suffer and Let our land be wasted…Kontinu killing your own future by your own hands.
WEEP NOT FOR THE NIGER DELTA!!!
OUR ENEMIES ARE WITHIN!!!
Don’t mind all these imbeciles supporting evil in south south, when d time comes, we shall know who is the boss. Shameless people.

Not all wars are fought and won. Has he considered it turns the other way round? He should have employed conflict resolution via dialogue and other media of conflict resolution to resolve this issue. Government is not win win all the time, they should try to lose some too and losing does not make them less as government. God please help this country.
I will pray for Nigeria. Too many problems at the same time. That is a blessed nation now facing attacks from every possible angles.
Hahahaaa this man they underestimate Militant Lol

MR BUHARI YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO FIGHT A LOOSING BATTLE COS MILITANTS ARE READY AS WELL WITH A SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BOKO HARAM YOU’RE THERE DECLARING WAR AGAINST INNOCENT PEOPLE,YOU’RE A DESTRUCTION TO NIGERIANS AS WHOLE,YOUR REGIME HASN’T CHANGED ANYTHING IN NIGERIA,YOU’RE BIG DISGRACE TO THE NATION, BRAINLESS PRESIDENT
MR BUHARI YOU CAN NEVER GO UNPUNISHED
Declaring war or making peace??
Nobody should touch the Avengers because they are foreigners just like the herdsmen. Being a foreigner is a ground of justification for any crime in Nigeria. So let us maintain equality before the law, as what is good for the foreign herdsmen is equally good for the foreign avengers.
Even if oil price drops to $1 per barrel the north will still be fighting over it. Why have Bokohari not diversify the economy?, why has he not collected back the oil wells own by the northerners?,why is it that Dangote is still the sole importer of many commodities?, why is it that almost all the key positions in this country are occupied by the northerners? Nigeria spent a lot in the conduct of the 2014 national conference and indeed it yielded good result. One of the recommendations of that conference is fiscal federalism where states will have autonomy just like in the U.S.A. But as soon asBuhari came in he dumped this all important conference with its useful and helpful recommendations. Nigeria is under siege by the same people. They distributed themselves into several groups. Some are in the Army, others are in EFCC, DSS, Herdsman, Boko Harams. They all behave the same way. CTB will arraign some for CCT, EFCC will come with evidence. If the Army is not killing unarmed IPOD and Shiite members, Fulani Herdsmen will be killing their host communities that accepted them over the years. Or the DSS will fabricate allegations of killing of Fulanis.
Summary, Buhari is a disaster to Nigeria. Even the devil with all his wickedness would not have contemplated the wickedness of this government ….

@onyealisi please go and remove that your Indian expired hair first
Mr president look at your people is doing,your the worst president so far. Mad man
Stupid man ever
I kept asking if we had another Niger Delta aside of whom their children enjoy Yar’adua’s amnesty programme? Why metamorphosing into Niger Delta Avengers (NDA)? What do they want? What are they avenging? Nigeria is more blessed in human and material wealths than they can imagin. Oil in that region is just one in a million. Terrorism & insurgency, vandalism & militancy are crimes against the state. We must exercise due caution.
Either you people like it or not no one can win the Federal government And this Buhari regime can never bow down to any body. You guys just want to waste your life and your children’s future.
Nigeria want to keep many women widow, they should remember the last score, millitant are not Bokoharam. I know many soldiers that died during last gun battle in river state.
Change change change
Musa i dare you, if you’re proud of yourself and proud of being so called Nigerian citizen, show your face, Boko Haram, all you do is insulting and laying curse on people, you’re a disgrace to man kind and entire house land,
I like their name Niger Delta Avengers
