Sea pirates kill three Agip staff carrying out repairs on damaged pipelines in Bayelsa
Three persons working for Agip were killed on Wednesday by unknown gunmen in the creek of Nembe around Obama flow station operated by Eni Oil, also known as Nigeria Agip Oil Company.
According to local and security sources, the oil workers were ambushed and killed along the creeks while carrying out repair work on Agip pipelines that had been destroyed weeks back.
"They were ambushed in their boat by the sea pirates who operate in the area. The area is a known notorious place where gunmen operate freely,” one source said.
The victims were two Agip staff and one driver.
"We are still searching for their bodies. I can say they are missing for now,” Mr. Agwu said.
