The authorities in Nigeria's Niger Delta area have arrested a "suspected mastermind" of the January bombing of oil pipelines belonging to Agip Oil, the military says in a statement.
The attack took place in Bayelsa state and caused an oil spillage in the region.
The arrested man Prince Alvin Cockman Oyegun goes by the alias Commander Abula.
The military statement concluded with a warning to other criminals planning to destroy oil installations, Sahara Reporters says
Political movements in the Niger Delta have often targeted oil installations in the past in a campaign to get more resources for the region.
