The main crude line from Makaraba through Otunana, Abiteye and others were also reportedly put out of operation by the hoodlums
Although Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo) denied responsibility for the earlier attack on Friday morning, source in the area and security operatives believe that he is masterminding the attacks.
