Leaders of Dibi Ijaw communities,Ogbinbiri Egbema clan in Warri North local government area in Delta State have condemned the incessant attack on oil facilities in their domain especially the recent June 1 blowing up of Chevron oil wells RMP 23 and RMP 24. This is contained in a statement made available to newsmen by the Dibi Ijaw communities Ogbinbiri Egbema clan chairman Mr. Ebi Eyenmi, Mr Darlington Lelekumor and others. They stated that the act believed to be perpetuated by the Nigerian Delta Avengers is totally unacceptable to the people of the clan. While condemning the nefarious activities of the Niger Delta Avengers embarking on destruction of oil facilities and wreaking havoc on the region's environment the leaders noted that the RMP 23 and RMP 24 are Chevron's swamp highest producing wells. Mr Ebi Eyenmi, Mr Darlington Lelekumor and others said the actions of the Avengers were not justifiable as it has resulted in total ecological devastation of the area. The leaders disclosed that the people of Dibi Ijaw communities, Ogbinbiri Egbema clan now live in fear and also face untold hardship as their only means of livelihood,which is fishing and farming have been totally destroyed by oil spills emanating from the activities of the said Niger Delta Avengers. They appealed to the state and federal government as well as relevant authorities to come to their aid and help in the clean up of the area as well as secure lives and property. They further advised the Niger Delta Avengers to explore consultation, negotiation and dialogue during misunderstanding with authorities and companies rather than resort to violence. Mr Eyenmi, Mr Lelekumor and others emphasised that the people of Dibi ijaw communities, Ogbinbiri Egbema clan are peace loving and law abiding citizens. It would be recalled that the Niger Delta Avengers in the past few weeks have consistently blown up oil facilities in the Niger Delta region, while the federal government has also set up security operatives to the area to checkmate the illegal bombing of oil facilities in the region.
