One person was reportedly burnt to death weekend in the deep mangrove creek of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State when suspected oil thieves set ablaze an oil facility belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company NAOC.
.
The incident, it was learnt, occurred along the creek of Igbomotoru community of the council area, known for its high concentration of illegal refinery camps tucked away in the dense mangrove swamp.
.
Though the identity of the deceased could not be ascertained, he is believed to be a member of an illegal bunkering and oil theft syndicate in the area.
.
It was reliably learnt that scores of other oil thieves suffered various degree of burns added that the company had deployed two swamp buggies to the area to contain the raging inferno.
I really do not support all this burning to death. That's very horrible for a human being.
This is a terrible way to die. Fire? May the soul of that person rest in peace. Too bad i have to say
