Ex-Gov Dickson declares ‘big players’ in Lagos, Abuja behind oil theft in Niger Delta

The Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, on Friday, described those behind oil theft in the Niger Delta as “big players” who reside outside the region.

The former Bayelsa State governor stated this during a visit to the Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Oboro-Gbaraun II, Aketepe, Agadagbam in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State.

Dickson said although many people believed the Ijaw youths were behind oil theft, they could not perpetrate the act.
