Faction of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has
blamed alleged plans to forcibly resume oil exploration in Ogoniland
for the criminal gang wars ravaging Ogoni area of Rivers State.
The MOSOP group, led by Fegalo Nsuke, has also sought independent
inquiry into the cult clashes, insisting that such an investigation
would uncover stunning revelations about oil industry sponsorship of
crime in Ogoni.
He alleged that campaigners for the resumption of oil exploration and
production in Ogoni were being sponsored by the oil industry to
destabilise Ogoni and force oil resumption against the wishes of the
people.
Nsuke cautioned that resumption of oil exploitation in Ogoni ought
not to be encouraged by any responsible government, as the lives of
Ogoni people were more important than oil prospecting.
“If the government goes ahead to resume oil production in Ogoni, the
people will protest and as usual, the government will send in soldiers
to kill us and that is why we are against the forced resumption of oil
production now. We do not want any Ogoni lives to be lost again,” he
said.
He claimed that the intention of the oil resumption campaigners was
to completely destroy the Ogoni social life with the hope that the
people will become helpless and unable to resist any military
intervention.
According to him, the calculation of the oil industry and their
allies was to create room for a military barracks to be sited in
Ogoniland to pave way for the resumption of oil production in the area.
Besides, a protracted land dispute between Oyigbo and Ogoni
communities has been blamed for the violent attack that claimed three
lives on Monday.
The Rivers State Police Command’s spokesman, Nnamdi Omoni, who
disclosed this yesterday, said the police were on the trail of the
perpetrators of the attacks on Azubuogu, Obete and Okpontu communities
in Oyigbo Council Area.
Unidentified gunmen, who allegedly came from Ogoni area of the state,
had invaded the communities in Oyigbo on Monday, shooting sporadically
and killing three persons in Azubuogu community.
Meanwhile, Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege has commended
Belema Oil Producing Limited for heeding Federal Government’s directive
for Nigerian and multinational oil and gas companies to relocate their
operational headquarters to the Niger Delta.
In a letter addressed to the company, Omo-Agege, said the company has set an example worth emulating by other oil and gas firms.
This was contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity Yomi Odunuga and made available to Senate Press
Corps yesterday.
