Ten days after the oil spill at Qua Iboe fields operated by Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, MPN, more spills have been sighted on the Atlantic coastline at Ibeno, Akwa Ibom State.

Fishermen and residents of coastal communities at Ibeno and Esit Eket Local Government Areas of the state, who noticed oil spills on the shoreline, reported the development to the oil spill agency.

An official of National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, said the agency got the report of fresh oil spill on the shores.

He said: "As soon as we got the report we deployed personnel to the site, though we are still investigating the earlier incident of August 13. I understand they saw tar balls at the coast.

"As we speak, our men are still in the field and their findings will help us to know the nature and extent of the deposits. It cannot be business as usual."

Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, MPN, has maintained a studied silence over its claimed investigation into the source of the oil spill found within its operational area on August 13.

What are we to do with these oil companies ABEG!!! They keep treating us like rubbish, its about time the FGN puts a stop to these nonsense because if you look outside this country you can hardly find them having such case of spillage in other countries.
Even as ExxonMobil officials were perfecting their cover-up strategies for an oil spill that occurred 10 days ago, one more spillage has been reported in its area of operation. I tire ooh!
