A fresh oil spill has been reported in the Ogboinbiri community, part of the Apoi clan in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, News360 Nigeria reports.

The spill, which occurred on Saturday, took place near Oando’s Ogboinbiri Flow Station located in the deep swamp area of the council. Although operators of the facility could not be immediately reached for comments, reliable sources confirmed that the incident was caused by equipment failure, with a rupture occurring at the 6 o’clock position—directly beneath the pipeline.

Reacting to the development, the Environmental Defenders Network (EDEN) expressed concern over the recurring spills. The Deputy Director of EDEN, Comrade Alagoa Morris, noted that the latest spill marks the fourth equipment-related incident in the area between September 2024 and May 3, 2025.

Speaking in Yenagoa on Tuesday, Morris—who also serves as the Technical Assistant to the Bayelsa State Governor on Environment—decried the frequency of spills and called for urgent action.

“With regular integrity checks on facilities and timely replacement of aging pipelines, the high frequency of oil spill incidents would be drastically reduced,” he said.

Morris stressed that only the prompt recovery of spilled crude oil, comprehensive cleanup, and proper remediation of affected environments would suffice.

“The sooner these measures are implemented, the better—especially as we are approaching the rainy season,” he added.

the goose that lays the golden egg


just imagine Bayelsa was a state in the core North.

Fg Polluting d state

While using d money to develop d north


Then northern mining gold to their own pockets

Why did the pipeline burst? I hope community people didn't burst it to scoop oil from it. These host communities will end up chasing all the IOCs into offshore operations and some leaving Nigeria entirely.

Tit's been a long time

Oil that is used to develop Abuja, other parts of northern states and embezzlement by politicians is spilling in Bayelsa. oil spill is damaging our land and waterways. We suffer environmental hazard due to oil spill yet Abuja politicians are the beneficiaries of this oil.

My dear oil rich states, or Niger Delta as them called una. Are you all aware that Tunibu just submitted 1.78tr. naira budget for FCT alone yesterday?
How much is annual budget in your own state?
What's the state of development in your own state as an oil rich state?
Are you aware that elite Nigerian polictians are given their children best education overseas from the proceeds of oil embezzlement?

We need to sit down and ask ourselves questions and search for answers if we must make progress

A teenager who has no knowledge nor history of Nigeria spotted.

Nobody talk about the owner of the facilities reported close to that place, they end up diverting the narrative towards north.

The report said OANDO. Who owns OANDO?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Acclaimed sophisticated people failing unprecedentedly on governance but maneuvering media, thinking they are in control because other zones doesn't goes to school except them.

They ended up turning a disaster who ruled with NEPA certificate into a Messiah by a first class Chicago ant

This is not that much na...
The community should rally the youths to use scoops or oil spill kits to remove the oil. Simple.
Everything must not be complaints after complaints.

See how they mischievously attempted to spin the narrative and put it on the north.

When will this oil dry up in Nigeria so We can go back to default settings?

See money, scoop and sell.
