Hurricane Piper Alpha unleashed its fury in Rivers state today, Sunday, June 21,
2009, leaving in its wake two battered oil installations.

At about 0230 Hrs, the hurricane pounded the Shell major pipeline located at
Adamakiri before moving on to another major Shell pipeline in Kula at 0300 Hrs. Both
pipelines are located in Rivers state of Nigeria.

We have been reliably informed that the Chevron Air Strip in Escravos was used by
the military as a staging area for the jet fighters and helicopter gunships used in
the attacks and bombing of civilian communities in Gbaramatu kingdom of Delta state.

By allowing its facilities to be used in committing atrocities against the host
communities where it drills oil and gas from, Chevron has repeated the same mistake
by Shell against the Ogoni communities and will pay a price in double measure.

Our public appeal for information on the two men summarily executed by the JTF has
paid off with an overwhelming response of leads which led our investigators to the
families of the victims.

The best lead happened to come from an anonymous soldier who described himself
simply as a born-again Christian from the South.

The murdered men in the You Tube video have been identified as Messrs Boma Green and
Stanley Tamunobere Pepple, humble fishermen who come from Bonny Island of Rivers
state.

They were arrested and shot on August 8, 2008 on suspicion of being militant
informants by the JTF even when they showed their catch and fishing tools as proof
of their profession.

Both men were shot on the legs to immobilize them before taken to the Bonny Jetty
base of the JTF. It was there that the soldiers sort the services of a camera man
to video their "prized catch".

After the shootings caught on tape, we were told Stanley did not die instantly and
after appeals from some witnesses that the men are known fishermen were they then
allowed to be taken away to the hospital.

They were rushed in a private car to the Teme Clinic run by Doctors without
Borders in Diobu, Port Harcourt where he died few hours later from the injuries
inflicted by the gunshot wounds. Medical records are available.

We also gathered that the JTF commander in charge of the Bonny area at the time was
one Colonel Hassan.

Stanley Pepple left behind a wife and three lovely children and was buried on August
30, 2008.

With this little piece of information to work with, we are again requesting the
Federal Government, the Ministry of Defense, the House of Representatives and the
government of Rivers state to take the same quick actions they took in attacking
civilian communities in Delta state in investigating this matter and giving justice
to these men.

When a female civilian was assaulted in Lagos by ratings accompanying a naval
admiral that was caught on tape, the Lagos state governor offered to help. The same
is expected from the governor of Rivers state.

Those killers are supposed to be the good guys paid by tax payers money. They have
more reason to be held accountable.

It is unfortunate that the initial response by the unprofessional spokesman for the
JTF was to deny this tape without an investigation.

The ball is the court of the government who refers to the Niger Delta people as its
children when it wants peace to access oil and gas. They must display that
fatherhood by fishing out the perpetrators who the army can easily identify from
just watching the God sent video clip.
