Protesters angry over a lack of jobs and aid took over an oil pumping station in Nigeria's southern delta region run by Italian oil firm Agip, forcing the company to shut the flow of oil there, a Nigerian security official said Sunday. Scores of protesters from the Egbema-Ngalabiri community invaded Agip's nearby Clough Creek facility just before midnight on Saturday and forced workers there to shut operations, Joshua Benamesia, a security aide of the Bayelsa state government in charge of the area, said. Agip is a subsidiary of Italian energy company, ENI SpA, according to a report of the Associated Press.
