Three workers of Agip Oil Company were killed on
Wednesday by unknown gunmen in the creek of Nembe around Obama flow
station operated by Eni Oil. The oil workers were ambushed and killed along the
creeks while carrying out repair work on Agip pipelines that had been destroyed
weeks back.
"They were ambushed in their boat by the sea pirates
who operate in the area. The area is a known notorious place where gunmen
operate freely,” one source said.
The victims were two Agip staff and one driver.
Desmond Agwu, Sector Commander of the Nigeria Civil Defence
and Security Corp in Bayelsa State, said that the victims’ bodies have not been
recovered.
