Aggrieved Ijaw youths from Egbema Clan, on Wednesday, shut down the operation of the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) at its flow station at Benin River at Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.

The protesting youths hinged their action on an alleged non-implementation of a Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMOU).

The youths had in the early hours of Wednesday moved into the facility with the intention of shutting down the flow station operated by the NPDC and Elcrest but were prevented from carrying out their action by a combined team of police and army.

The youths, under the leadership of Miyenpirigha Ebidouwei, however, succeeded in preventing the entry and exit of the OML 40 flow station.

Ebidouwei explained maltreatment of the host communities by the NPDC/Elcrest community relations.

According to him, “Our plan is to shut down the flow station but we were prevented from doing that. We will surely carry out this plan if our demands are not meant.”

Attempt made to get the company’s community relation manager, Mr Dairu Abunakar, to react proved abortive as he did not pick the calls terminated on his cell phone, nor did he respond to messages sent to him.
