Warri:Protesters hold church service at Chevron

The dissenters, who have been laying an attack to Chevron Tank Farm since Tuesday a week ago over the non-acknowledgment of Ugborodo Interim Management Committee by oil firms working in the territory, sang and lectured amid the administration. Around 4,000 challenging Ugborodo people group indigenes on Sunday held a non-denominational church administration at the front of Chevron Tank Farm in Escravos, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, where they have been dissenting for quite a long time.

We will be in Asaba."The individuals expect the police, the DSS or any gathering getting together to win on Chevron to perceive and relate with the IMC set up in managing Ugborodo. The other desire is that our people working here in Chevron must not be exploited over this dissent toward the day's end."

We have watched that they impart a commonly advantageous relationship to the oil majors they have. For us in Ugborodo, it has been an alternate story, of disregard, separation and tenet and underdevelopment."
