Talks to end Nigerian oil crisis

The leader of a militia based in Nigeria's main oil region says he is to meet the president following his threat to attack foreign oil workers.

Dokubo Asari told the BBC that he has gone to the capital, Abuja, with five other members of his armed group.

His threat was one reason why world oil prices reached a record high of $50 a barrel this week.

He says he is fighting for the rights of the Ijaw people but the authorities have dismissed him as an oil thief.
