The leadership of Inikorogha and Bafan communities in Warri South West Local Government Area, Delta State, affected by the recent pipeline attacks by militants, have pledged to support the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and Nigerian Gas Company, NGC, to maintain the existing cordial relationship between parties.
In a statement, yesterday, in Warri by Chairman of Inikorogha community, Mr Christopher Ejoh and others, the affected communities urged NNPC/NGC management not to become hostile in dealing with their host communities who they said were innocent of the heinous pipelines attacks.
