OIL SPILLAGE: Indigenes of Ogoni warns against resumption of oil exploration in the region

The Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, MOSOP; has warned against what it called “attempt to forcefully resume oil exploration activities in Ogoni.

President of the body, Mr. Legborsi Pyagbara, in a statement, alleged that Ogoni communities were shut out of the process that resulted in the award of mining license for OML11 to an indigenous oil firm, insisting that they will resist any attempt to force any oil firm on the area.

Mr. Pyagbara frowned at the reported laying of oil pipelines in some parts of Ogoni communities, saying that it violated the rights of the people and could provoke another round of crisis in the area.
