Leaders of Dibi Ijaw communities,Ogbinbiri
Egbema clan in Warri North local government
area in Delta State have condemned the incessant
attack on oil facilities in their domain especially
the recent June 1 blowing up of Chevron oil wells

the people of the clan.

environment the leaders noted that the RMP 23
and RMP 24 are Chevron's swamp highest
producing wells.

justifiable as it has resulted in total ecological
devastation of the area.
The leaders disclosed that the people of Dibi Ijaw
communities, Ogbinbiri Egbema clan now live in

operatives to the area to checkmate the illegal
bombing of oil facilities in the region. |
