From Reuters:
Chevron Corp. (CVX) has halted its export of approximately 100,000 barrels of Nigerian crude oil per day, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The reduced flow follows an attack on a key oil pipeline in the Niger Delta region, an area that has long been plagued by government corruption and violent militant attacks.

The group has vowed to continue its attacks until Nigeria halts oil exportation.
