| FIREMEN BATTLING THE FLAMES AT IJEGUN |
Barely three weeks after disaster was averted when an oil
spill from a faulty Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline
flooded the Ijegun-Imore area of Satellite Town, Lagos, an explosion Sunday, rocked another pipeline in the same area.
Confirming the incident, the Spokesperson for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA),
South-west Zone, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, said the explosion was caused by
vandals at a peninsula around Ijegun late in the night.
He said the explosion was as a result of underground spillage through points of previous vandalism
which had been exerted on the pipelines in the past. He said there was no casualty, adding that the fire was
finally put out by the NNPC fire unit after hours of battling the flames, while
repairs would commence soon.
