Shell suspends operations in Nigeria

Shell has decided to suspend operations in Nigeria. According to a Shell top official, the reason for the suspension is due to five major militant attacks on Utorogu-UPS trunk line on January 7; the Amukpe-Rapele manifold attack of January 11; the Trans Escravos-Forcados River manifold attack of February 28; the Trans-Forcados pipeline (Chanomi Creek manifold) attack of June 12; and the militant attack on Trans Ramos pipeline on June 16.

I did a quick google news search but couldn't find any thing to collaborate this.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is Shell really shutting down all operations in Nigera?
