Port Harcourt
A group of armed men believed to be
cultists have blown up a gas facility in
Akala Olu village, Ahoada West Local
Government Area of Rivers State for the
arrest and continued detention of a
suspect, Mr. Emmanuel Odum.
The attack on the gas facility, according
to a statement signed by the Assistant
Director, Army Public Relations, 2
Brigade in Port Harcourt, Captain Eli
Lazarus, disrupted production activities
of the Nigeria Agip Oil Company.
The suspected cultists believed to be
members of Icelander cult group had
demanded the release of Odum, who
was said to be currently undergoing
interrogation for his alleged involvement
in pipeline vandalisation and cult-
related activities.
The statement issued in Port Harcourt
on Monday indicated that the vandals
and suspected cultists had also
threatened to carry out further attacks
on oil and gas installations unless their
demands were met.
“In the early hours of Sunday February
7, 2016, pipeline vandals destroyed a
gas facility in Akala Olu village in Oshie
community, Ahoada West Local
Government Area of Rivers State,
thereby disrupting the production
activities of Nigeria Agip Oil Company.
“The vandals threatened to carry out
further acts of vandalism unless their
demands are met. The vandals are
suspected members of Icelander cult
group.
“The group demanded for the release of
a detained suspect; one Mr. Emmanuel
Odum currently undergoing
interrogation in connection with pipeline
vandalism and cult related activities,”
the statement from the 2 Brigade read.
It, however, warned that that it would
not be intimidated into doing the bidding
of any group of criminals, cautioning
that the Nigerian Army will deal with
anybody caught vandalising the nation’s
pipelines.
It observed that politicians were arming
the cult groups and encouraging them
with inciting utterances capable of
breaching the peace, adding that the
Army would not hesitate to deal with
such politicians.
