notes: MEND attacks the an office of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in Okrika, killing seven. MEND later formally claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement describing their motives: 'We will persist with our attacks on the Nigerian oil industry due to the inaction of President Goodluck Jonathan, who continues to rely on an unsustainable and fraudulent Niger Delta Amnesty programme, which is only a guise to line the pockets of Goodluck Jonathan, his wife Patience, Jonathans cronies and members of the Amnesty Committee whose sudden wealth remains unchallenged by the Nigerian media.'
