Riverine community in Bayelsa State lament fresh crude oil spill

DAILY POST learned that the latest spill which reportedly happened in June is the third in 10 years, with a five-year interval from 2010, 2015 and in 2020.

”This oil spill has affected the aquatic lives, killing all the fish in the swamp and river. We are left with nothing, as we no longer catch fish even if you go to the swamp or river to fish. Those who picked and brought dead fish from the impacted environment to the community and ate all had health problems and some even died. We are suffering from related illnesses.

In her brief, the Woman leader of Ikebiri 2, Seimieghe Matthew, said “There is a particular bush identified by our people as Boloukubu and currently there is an oil spill from a pipeline and since the incident happened, I have received several complaints from the women folks in the community”
