Breaking: Protesters Storm Shell Crude Flow Station In Nigeria's Niger Delta by VargasVee(m): 11:37am On Aug 11, 2017
Hundreds of Nigerian protesters stormed a crude oil flow station owned by Shell in the restive Niger Delta on Friday, demanding jobs and infrastructure development, a Reuters witness said.

The protesters complained they did not benefit from oil production in their area, a common refrain in the impoverished swampland that produces most of Nigeria's oil. They also demanded an end to oil pollution in the area.

Soldiers and security guards did not disperse the crowd as they entered the Belema Flow Station in Rivers State, which feeds oil into Shell's Bonny export terminal.

Shell had no immediate comment, and it was not immediately clear whether there was an impact on oil production.

While Bonny Light crude oil is currently under force majeure due to the closure of the Trans Niger Pipeline, exports continue via another export line.

Yes boys!! Attack! No retreat! Bomb, burn, destroy everything in sight then cut off two white men's head and one black man's ear and make sure you harvest one or two joysticks. They will know that we are not joking again.
