A 14-day ultimatum has been given to oil
companies operating in Ekpeyeland by a group of former Niger Delta militants,
they have been asked to leave the area or face massive vandalisation of their
assets.
According to the group, the eviction notice was
due to the oil companies’ refusal to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Ekpeye
communities.
The ex-agitators known as Ekpeye Liberation
Group, who claimed to be behind the attack on Well 5 in Akara Olu, Ahoada West
Local Government Area of Rivers State, explained that they are utterly
disappointed with the conduct of the oil multinational companies operating in
the area.
“The Ekpeye Liberation Group,
a forum of ex-militants and freedom agitators from the Ekpeye Ethnic Nationality
in Rivers State (Part of the Niger Delta), is
utterly disappointed with the conduct of the
oil multinational companies operating in the area.
“In the light of their
nonchalant, including lukewarm attitude to the massive killings and kidnappings
of our people in recent times, the Ekpeye Liberation Group has been forced to
issue a notice of eviction to all oil companies operating in Ekpeye territory
and its waters.
“They (oil companies) are
required to pack out of Ekpeyeland within 14 days, from Thursday 16 of June or
face massive vandalisation of their assets. A stitch in time saves nine,” the group said.
