The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency,(NOSDRA) has said that sabotage was responsible for oil spills recorded at Agip’s operating fields.
Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) a subsidiary of the Italian multinational Eni, recorded six cases of crude oil spill in the month of September. It also recorded 11 cases in August.
But a NOSDRA report indicated that sabotage largely contributed to the incidents. NOSDRA confirmed all 17 cases were mainly caused by sabotage and theft.
