SPDC HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL: OGULAGHA YOUTHS CLARIFY GENERAL PUBLIC ON THE SOURCE, LOCATION AND CAUSE OF DEAD FISHES BY SPDC.
~ Says SPDC Waste Disposal line is located in Ogulagha Community and 7KM away from Odimodi.
WARRI _____ The youths under the leadership of Mr Anthony Okilo Waterwei in Ogulagha Community under Ogulagha kingdom, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State has faulted and debunked an online publication made by the youth president of Odimodi Community, Mr Akin DC Claiming SPDC Waste disposal line and Forcados Terminal as been "located in Odimodi Community" which in it's entirety is not true.
Mr Anthony refuted the said publication in a press statement which was made available to newsmen in Warri, a copy of which was sent to CoastalTimes News.
The statement Reads;
" The dead of fishes found floating on our sea and shorelines particularly in Ogulagha kingdom, neighboring kingdoms and villages in Burutu and Warri South West LGAs, Delta State and other parts of Niger Delta region is not new to us and even the Government.
We want to thank God that one of our Neighbour who happens to be the youth president of our neighbouring community "Odimodi Community", Mr Akin DC who made efforts to find the cause and source of the dead fishes.
We are pleased with your findings and doggedness as regards the cause of the dead fishes. it was a good one but, we wish to draw your attention to paragraph three (3) of the said publication stating that the "dead fishes were caused as a result of SPDC's Hazardous chemicals Discharged into our sea through their waste Disposal line in ODIMODI FORCADOS TERMINAL" which we the Ogulagha Community youths find as not true, false claim and misleading.
For the sake of clarity and to Educate you of your Ignorance, we want to categorically state it that Odimodi Community is never a host to SPDC but, just an impacted Community.
We find your statement worrisome and incorrect because, Ogulagha Community in Ogulagha Kingdom, is the legitimate host to SPDC and FORCADOS TERMINAL where the water disposal line is also located.
We hereby call on the general public to disregard such a misleading publication as Odimodi community is about 7KM far away from the SPDC water disposal line and hereby warn Mr Akin DC to decease from such act as we will not take it from him or any other group persons next time"
