Senator Seriake Dickson on Friday described those behind oil theft in the Niger Delta as “big players” who reside outside the region
The former governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson on Friday described those behind oil theft in the Niger Delta as “big players” who reside outside the region.
He explained that the Ijaw people were living in the creeks, earning their daily livelihood on the waterways and farmlands when the alleged thieves polluted the land with their nefarious activities. “We do not have the capacity to do that! We do not even have the experience to be involved in that kind of operation,” he said.
“Those who, on a daily basis under-declare what is produced; those who have refused to properly monitor and record what is produced for over 50 or 60 years should take the blame.
