Nigeria: Militants attack another flow station

Militants suspected to be Ijaw, have continued their attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta by vandalising a flow station and a gas flow line in Warri South-West and Burutu Local Government Areas of Delta State.

The Shell Petroleum Development Company, which only on Friday was asked by a Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, to pay $1.5billion to the Ijaw in Bayelsa State as compensation for environmental damages, operates the flow station, Odidi II, in Warri South-West.

The gas flow line located at Beniboye, near Forcados, in Burutu LGA, was operated by the Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited.

Although our correspondents learnt that the attack on the Odidi II flow station was on Saturday, a senior SPDC official claimed that it happened on Wednesday night.
