Last week, militants attacked a Chevron platform in the Niger Delta where tensions have been building up since authorities issued an arrest warrant in January for a former militant leader on corruption charges.
Residents in the Niger Delta have been demanding a greater share of oil revenues.
President Muhammadu Buhari extended a multi-million dollar amnesty signed with militants in 2009 but upset them by ending generous pipeline protection contracts.
