They blamed the environmental pollution in the South-south region on the activities of pipeline vandals, particularly in the host communities.According to Mr Akuduro, most of the vandals, with increasing appetite for pilfering crude from the pipelines through illegal connections and damage to oil installations, reside in host communities.

“Our operations covering largely onshore and marshy areas are easily accessible to vandals whose activities result in spillage and pollution of the environment as oil spills are swiftly spread by the strong underwater current,” he said.Also speaking, Ewarezi Useh, the chief operating officer of Aieto Group, a petroleum business company, also blamed the drop in crude oil production on the activities of vandals.

The Chairperson, House Committee on Environment, Julius Pondi , reiterated the committee’s resolve to unearth the cause of environmental degradation and pollution caused by oil companies through their operations.
