The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari, says the four oil refineries in the country have been shut down in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.

Kyari said this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

He explained that all four refineries were functioning below capacity and it had thus become necessary to stop them from operating all together.

Responding to a question, the NNPC boss said, “First, all the four refineries in three locations are shut down and it was a deliberate decision for two reasons. One is that delivery of crude oil to these refineries is completely challenged because the pipeline network has been completely compromised by vandals and all kinds of people that will not allow us to operate these pipelines.

The group said that the material information it’s searching for include facts and figures, videos and other materials that will help them unearth those involved in the Enugu killings of unarmed Igbo youths in Emene.

Further to the probe, the WIC media action announced a joint conference meeting with Nigerian Christian Lives Matter and other media groups around the world on September 12, 2020.

“This is in furtherance of the activities of these organisations to address the state of insecurity in our land and the ongoing killing of Igbo Christian youths at the hands of armed herdsmen and Nigerian forces,” WIC said in a press release.

The group further revealed that the Igbo Congress Board Chairman, Prof Anthony Ejiofor will be addressing the World Media Council, on issues concerning incessant killings of Christian youths in Nigeria and measures put in place to bring the culprits to justice.
