The development is causing disquiet in the area as the protesters today, Wednesday continued their siege to the facility located in Ogidigben, a riverine community in Warri South West Council Area.
Public Relation Officer of the community, David Mamah, who confirmed the development in a telephone conversation, disclosed that the flowstation was shut down on Saturday to press home their grievances.
The indigenes had on Thursday last week stormed the facility with kitchen utensils and canopies erected in front of the company’s gate, insisting that they wouldn’t vacate the facility until their demands are met.
The protesters alleged years of neglect by the oil company which has several oil exploration facilities in the area.
According to Mamah, the commissioner incharge of oil and gas in Delta, Mr. Emmanuel Amgbaduba had on Monday addressed the protesters, calling on them to call off the protest and allow the state government handle the matter.
