According to the press release, "crude supply challenges arising from recent attacks on vital crude pipelines" led to the operational shutdown of the refineries on Sunday.
The Bonny-Okrika and Escravos Warri supply lines to the refineries have "suffered breaches" as a result of several last week's bombings.
