Shell denies shutting down operations over presidential polls result

The Management of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) has denied reports that it shut down its flow stations in Bayelsa owing to fears of attack by aggrieved militants.

The SPDC's spokesperson, Mr Joseph Obari, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday that the operations of the oil firm were running but declined further details.

``Our operations are continuing and we will not comment on security issues.”

The reports had alleged that the oil firm acted to forestall attacks by militants aggrieved by Jonathan’s loss in the March 28, 2015 presidential polls.
