From Chuks Okocha in Port Harcourt
Following threats by some militant youth groups to blow up pipelines and other oil installations in the Niger Delta as a result of last Thursday’s arrest of Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha in London for money laundering, government has increased security around oil facilities belonging to British Oil Company, Shell and LNG Nigeria Limited.
But the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Information, Mr. Oronto Douglas at the weekend refuted claims that Alamieyeseigha has been charged before a court in London. He said the governor remains innocent until he is charged and proved guilty in a court.
