Some suspected vandals have
allegedly punctured petroleum pipeline at the Takwa Bay area of Lagos thereby
causing a shut down in the lines of fuel distribution.
The National Emergency Management
Agency (NEMA) said the incident has caused a huge explosion in the area and
fire has engulfed the area where the incident occurred.
The NEMA spokesperson Ibrahim
Farinloye told sunnewsonline.com that the incident occurred in the middle of
the night, adding that, “valves and supplies have been shut down to suffocate
the fire.”
He said that safety officials from
the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) Atlas Cove base are already
working to put out the fire.
