From Aaron/CNN:
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Angry villagers in Nigeria stormed and seized three Shell oil platforms Wednesday in the volatile Niger Delta, forcing oil production to be shut down at each one, a spokesman for the oil company said.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC officials declined to say how much oil had been cut off after the platforms were attacked but did say the attack was swift. “We totally underestimated them, they started using these wrestling moves on our employees. It all happened so fast.â€
Villagers dancing in the streets were saying they recently learned these wrestling moves from an American outreach group that had recently visited them. “This goes out to my 7 foot friend Blundy!†Narjuah said as he did a piledriver on a Shell employee.
Shell said in statement that members of the Kula community living near Shell’s Ekulama 1, Ekulama 2 and Belema oil pumping stations invaded the facilities Wednesday, accusing the oil giant of failing to meet the terms of an agreement to provide them aid.
Like we said – you never know what kind of impact you might have on someone. 🙂
Hope you all enjoyed.
