Oil Spill Kills 15 In Rivers State by Donaldofficial: 6:53am On Nov 07, 2015 |
About 15 persons have been confirmed dead in Emago/Kugbo community in Abua/Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State, following the recent oil spill that occurred in the area, at one of the facilities of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC). This was disclosed yesterday, by Omini Walson-Asaco, spokesman of the community before the members of Rivers State House of Assembly Committee on Environment, held at the Assembly Complex in Port Harcourt. The House of Assembly Committee had summoned the management of the Italian oil giant, on the heels of a petition from the lawmaker representing Abua/Odual Constituency, the Deputy Speaker, Marshall Uwom, requesting the House to intervene in the matter. At the meeting, which had in attendance representatives of the community and Agip company, the spokesman of Emago/Kugbo community, accused the company of insensitivity to the plight of the people. Dr. Walson-Asaco said that the spill was caused by an explosion, pointing out that Agip had not carried out remediation and clean-up of the area. Responding to the allegation, the Government Relations Manager of Agip, Ijuwe Albert, told the Committee that the spill was an act of sabotage. According to him, the act of “using explosives” on Agip’s facilities had returned in the area, noting that the company had recorded several cases of sabotage with explosives and other destructive devices on their pipelines. In his response, the Deputy Speaker and lawmaker representing the community wondered why Agip should carry out investigation without involving the host community. He accused Agip of making pre-emptive accusations. Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Committee, Israel Ngbuelo, had advised Agip to ensure that its corporate social responsibility in host communities were implemented. source http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/oil-spill-kills-15-in-rivers-state/118279.html Cc: lalasticlala 1 Share

Na wa for naija o. They have oil but their living standard is really low yet FG and the WHITES keep on extorting and exploiting them at the detriment of their souls. I hope all those clamouring for one Nigeria ain't blind to this. Agriculturally speaking, most of the lands in SS can't be use for farming due to oil spillage, the most pathetic part is government ain't doing anything to reduce the situation. I rep odua republic! NB: most people needs to watch black November to gain knowledge about what's really happening in SS States. 8 Likes 1 Share |

See the shameless and soulless biafrats rejoicing over the fatal misfortune of their "brothers". You can mock them for as long as you like. You're still not getting their rich lands and ports in Biafra. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. 5 Likes |

May God kill all Biafrans for using this to mock the people of the Niger Delta. May the Nigerian police continue shooting dead your protesters, May another war break out and 6 million of you killed in the most cruelest way known to mankind. May your closest friends continue to backstab you. 2 Likes 1 Share |
