Environmentalists and residents of the Ogboinbiri Oilfield operated by the Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) in Southern Ijaw Council Area

The Guardian learnt that residents of the area fled their homes on Monday following a bad odour from gas leaks as a result of flare from AGIP’s facility.

A resident of the community, Tiedor Duabor, said the high temperature from the flares forced him and his family members to leave their home in a nearby fishing port. It, therefore, urged the Federal Government to conduct an environmental audit or post-impact assessment of the community, to be funded by NAOC.

MEANWHILE, Governor Douye Diri has bemoaned the devastation caused by erosion in several communities across the state.
