MILITANTS BLOW UP NNPC GAS PIPELINE IN OGUN STATE

Again suspected Niger Delta Militants have successfully blown up gas pipeline in PZ Estate, in Ogun State, which serves as a distribution line to some companies in Lagos State.

 The militants earlier went to the area, pretending to be officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as reported by Channels Television.

But as at press time, none of the dreaded militant groups have claimed responsibility for this attack, which happens to be the first of its kind in the South-West.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Ogijp police station, Muhammed Tijani, later confirmed the attack and said investigations were going on at the moment.

According to a source “What we heard is that during the day, some people disguised as NNPC staff. They reportedly came with two Hilux vehicles and pretended as if they carried out some repairs. Later at night, the explosion occurred.”
