Nigeria’s oil exports are expected to fall slightly in June to just under 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), Reuters reports.

The export plan comprised 60 cargoes, for a total of 1.796 million bpd, compared with the 1.895 million bpd in May’s revised export programme.

June exports will also include four cargoes of Akpo condensate compared with three cargoes in May.

The export plans showed two fewer cargoes of Agbami in June, and one fewer Antan, Bonga, Qua Iboe, EA, Okono, Pennington and Usan compared with the previous month.

No fewer than 19 persons have been reported killed in a fresh attack by suspected herdsmen in Ayar Mbalom village in Gwer East local Government Area of Benue State.

According to Daily Post, among those killed were Rev Fathers Gor Joseph, Felix and many others.

The attackers also sacked the entire villagers burning down over 35 houses.

Confirming the incident, Moses Iorapuu, Director of Communications, Catholic Diocese of Makurdi in a statement sent to DAILY POST, called on the federal government to end the senseless killings in the state and the country at large.

He said the deceased were until their demise, serving at St. Ignatius Quasi Parish Ukpor-Mbalom.

“In their classic style, they burntdown homes, destroy food items and kill. The police seem to know nothing of the attacks which have been going on in other villages within Benue State since the Anti-Open Grazing Law came into effect last year,” Iorapuu told DAILY POST
