Nigeria vows to protect oil facilities

The Joint Military Force deployed to the Niger Delta, Operation Delta Safe, says that it will not tolerate any attempt by aggrieved communities to shut down oil facilities under any guise.

Rear Adm. Joseph Okojie, Commander of the joint force, stated this on Wednesday when the Bayelsa Oil and Gas Task Force paid a familiarisation visit to the headquarters of the military outfit in Yenagoa.

He said that there were established channels of resolving conflict amongst parties in the oil sector and urged communities to abstain from taking the laws into their hands.
