The communities, under the aegis of Polobubo Advocacy Group, also called on the Nigerian government and the international community to wade into the matter and stop the oil multinational from using security operatives to intimidate and abuse the locals.
Recall that Polobubo, host to one of Chevron’s facilities, was recently in the news over the Ipkpalakpalabou oil well head fire explosion which reportedly lasted from April to June 30, last month. Issuing a 48-hour ultimatum to Chevron to effect the release of Barry Ebidinana who is reportedly the surveillance supervisor, the community stressed that he was “arrested on allegations that are callous and unfounded,” adding that its youths have always maintained peaceful dispositions, even in the face of conflicts.
“Polobubo youths are not known for vandalism and destruction of public properties. To prove this further, in the era of the ethnic crisis, Polobubo and Opuama youths were the ones who secured Opuekeba platform and other facilities with their lives and not even a pin of chevron properties were damaged or destroyed, yet Chevron keep paying us with a bad coin,” part of the statement read.
