Share Factional leaders of oil-producing communities otherwise called host communities on Thursday physically assaulted each other during the public hearing on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) held at the instance of the House of Representatives. Crisis started after the chairman, Ad-hoc Committee on PIB, Hon Mohammed Monguno ruled that each of the host communities would be allowed to make separate presentations individually, a decision which some of the stakeholders kicked against as they shouted: “no, no, no.” Few minutes after dousing the tension, one of the traditional rulers in his 60s who wanted to make a presentation on behalf of a faction of the host communities was physically attacked by another factional chairman in his mid-40s.
