Port Harcourt — Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has threatened an all out oil war in the next few weeks for what it called government display of insincerity over its promises to peacefully resolve issues that led to the Niger Delta crisis.
The Joint Task force has arrested two prominent Bayelsans over their involvement in the Christmas day attack on the Tebidaba flow station belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) in which some lives were lost.
Though the JTF had linked the Christmas day attack to the Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) which the latter had since denied but informed sources told Vanguard that the attack was actually carried out by some community youths for their selfish interest with a view to compelling the Italian oil giant to settle them for the yuletide celebrations.

Daily Independent (Lagos)Akwa Ibom is a blessed state, located in the rain forest and Bible belt of Nigeria. It has a lot of natural resources but the most important are crude oil and Chief Ufot Ekaette.
The crude oil is drilled from offshore platforms off the coast of Ibeno and Ikot Abasi, and it is usually exported to foreign countries. But the host communities for the crude oil include local government areas like Eket, Ibeno, Esit Eket, Ikot Abasi, Eastern Obolo and Onna. These local government areas are not as happy with oil companies as they should be, because the oil money has failed to flow like a mighty stream in their communities.
