About 15 persons have been confirmed dead in Emago/Kugbo community in Abua/Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State, following the recent oil spill that occurred in the area, at one of the facilities of Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC). This was disclosed yesterday, by Omini Walson-Asaco, spokesman of the community before the members of Rivers State House of Assembly Committee on Environment, held at the Assembly Complex in Port Harcourt.

The House of Assembly Committee had summoned the management of the Italian oil giant, on the heels of a petition from the lawmaker representing Abua/Odual Constituency, the Deputy Speaker, Marshall Uwom, requesting the House to intervene in the matter. At the meeting, which had in attendance representatives of the community and Agip company, the spokesman of Emago/Kugbo community, accused the company of insensitivity to the plight of the people.

We need to be serious about environmental issues in Nigeria.



GOD Bless Nigeria and everyplace else .

bunch of liars, oil spill kills at least 15?
what was the 15 people doing on the oil pipeline?
did they go to drink the oil from the spilled pipe or the pipe explode and hit them in there heads?
the 15 people are vandals and crude oil thieves who went to vandalize the oil pipeline and the resulting explosion killed them. SIMPLE. Let the company sue the community or anyone responsible for vandalizing there pipeline and not the other way round.
