The Pipelines and
Product Marketing Company has confirmed another vandalism of the System 2B
pipeline at the notorious Arepo village in Ogun.
The latest explosion,
suspected to have been caused by vandals, happened in the early hours of today (Thursday).
A management official of the PPMC, who preferred anonymity, said in Lagos that
the number of casualty could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this
report.
The System 2B pipeline
at Arepo was vandalised barely 10 days after it was repaired. The South West
Zonal Public Relations Officer of the National Emergency management Agency Ibrahim
Farinloye also confirmed the latest explosion.
He said that the agency
had mobilised resources to move to the swampy area to put out the fire. It can
be recalled that this is the second time in 2013 that explosion was recorded at
Arepo village.
