The chemical, released since Wednesday, has caused widespread damage to vegetation and raised concerns about the health and safety of residents.


The protesters, demanding immediate action from the NNPC to address the issue, have vowed to continue blocking the gate until their demands are met.


The incident has sparked outrage and concern among community members, who are calling for compensation for their crops killed by the chemical release.


One of the residents, Prince Abello Simon, who spoke to newsmen, said, "We are unhappy about the release of this chemical. It has been killing all the crops in our communities.

We are calling on the government to intervene and ensure that justice is served."
