“We write to bring to your notice on the urgent need to intervene between our communities and the Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, to avoid break down of law and order in the ongoing repair works at the 48 inches Forcados Terminal Export Line.

“We want total peace to reign so as not to delay free flow of oil in order not to affect oil revenue accruable to the state.’’
