Like the gory tale of other oil producing communities in the Niger Delta coastal belt, the pathetic story of Rumuekpe community in the Emohua Local Government area of Rivers State is rather mind rending. Located deep down the mangrove settlement off the busy East-West road, Rumuekpe is comfortably seated amid well-orchestrated green vegetation.
Shell was accused of adopting the divide and operate system to keep the youths of the community perpetually in hatred against themselves. The youths were alleged to have been sponsored by the oil companies, particularly Shell, to kill their fellow youths in the other faction, maim some, rape women and burned down houses.
