Barely a few weeks after the devastating gas explosion in the Abule-Ado area of Lagos State, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has alerted residents of a leaking pipeline in the state.
Director-General Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Mr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident along Ojukwu Str., Navy Town, around Satellite Town in the metropolis.
However, he assured that NNPC technicians had been notified and already addressing the matter.
NAN quoted him as saying, “We received an alert this evening and upon arrival, it was discovered that an NNPC pipeline along the axis at Ojukwu street, Navy Town was leaking.
“We contacted the NNPC who dispatched a repair team to the location.
“The agency and other first responders intend to remain on high alert until the repairs being carried out by NNPC are fully completed.”
