The National Emergency Management
Agency (NEMA) said on Thursday that there has been a pipeline
explosion at Ogijo-Ilara, behind the Redeemed Christian Church of God camp along
the Lagos-Ibadan Express Road.
In a statement by NEMA made
available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, NEMA said that
the explosion occurred around 3.25 a.m. when suspected vandals broke the
pipelines and installed two valves which they used in siphoning fuel into
tankers.
It said that the tankers were parked
across a creek far away from the area and linked through a hose.
The statement said that the fire was
brought under control around 10.30 a.m. by the Ogun State Fire Service, NNPC’s
safety agents and NEMA’s safety officials.
It said that the valves were shut
down immediately, adding that re-streaming of supplies would commence as soon
as possible. (NAN)
