Members of the Egbebiri communities in Biseni clan, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, have seized the Idu oil field belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC).
It was learnt that the field is made up of about five oil wells numbered as 3, 6, 8, 11 and 12.
The Egbebiri communities were said to have shut the oil wells over the failure of Agip to satisfy some of their demands.
“Five oil wells operated by Agip in the company’s Idu field in Biseni have been shut down by community folks. Wellheads 3, 6, 8, 11 and 12 have been shut since Sunday night,” a source who pleaded for anonymity said.
