Women from Ikebiri community in Apoi-Olodiama local government area of Bayelsa State have taken over an oil rig (Bintanc Kalamatani) belonging to Farashole Drilling, working for the Nigeria Agip Oil Company. The women, numbering about five hundred, most of them elderly, are protesting against Agip for not implementing parts of the agreement it signed with the community five years ago.
