Members of the host communities to Oil Mining Lease (OML) 30 in the Nigerian Delta state took over two flow stations in protest of alleged lack of faith by the operators of the lease. Isoko women from Oleh community in Isoko South council area occupied the Olomoro Flowstation. The protesting women had a rough encounter with the security men at the facility. Mrs. Evwoma Ochweru, from Oleh host community, said their women neither their youths feel the impact of Heritage Oil Services Company, no empowerment, scholarship for their children or any plan to enhance the development of their host communities. “When we got here around 4am we sat down and that was when soldiers came over to attack us. They injured three women, we have rushed them to the hospital. They took our women leader away in their vehicle and before they took her away, they beat her thoroughly. They broke our chairs and the boy who brought canopy here was also beaten very well”, Mrs. Ochweru said.
