Director-General of the National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), Idris Musa, revealed that a joint investigation into the cause could not be held until the leak was stopped.

The Ijaw National Congress has rebuked Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company for its poor response to the November 5 spill from its oilfields in Nembe, Bayelsa.

At the press conference, Okaba was flanked by the secretary of the body, Ebipamowei Wodu, financial secretary, Kennedy Odiowei, publicity secretary, Ezonebi Oyakemeagbeha and second vice president, Nengi James, who headed the team that visited the site. “First and foremost, we want to express our dismay over the position of Aiteo that the oil spill was caused by sabotage. The INC considers this position as prejudicial and pre-emptive, and it is unacceptable,” he added.

“They sent only 200 bags of rice. This is inhumanity taken too far. Two hundred bags of rice are what a company that has destroyed people’s livelihoods is talking about. They are not even ashamed of themselves," Okaba revealed.
