The Royal Dutch Shell and her Nigerian subsidiary, Shell Petroleum Development Company, have said the occupation of a Nigerian Facility by protesters exposes the people at the plant to higher safety risks, adding that this could trigger a spill or fire with potentially serious consequences.
Reports from AFP news agency indicates that hundreds of protesters from two communities - Kula and Belema in Rivers State have occupied a plant since August 11 to press their demands for jobs and better living conditions.
According to the company, “the illegal occupation of Belema Flow Station and Gas Plant in Rivers State has safety implications both for the people at the facilities and nearby communities”.
