There has been a Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) vandalism at Ikotun section of Atlas Cove-Mosimi System 2B Pipeline channel.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service received a distress call at about 0224hrs to Omoboriowo Street, Pipeline Bus Stop, via Ikotun, Lagos and Firemen from Abesan Fire Station were swiftly mobilized to the scene.
“On getting there, it was discovered that PMS was gushing out from the pipeline and contents had travelled through drainage and available means to Igando/Idimu Roads and environs of Alimosho, Lagos”.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service further explained that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation pumping operations has been suspended while Firemen are putting the situation under control and Security Agents are providing coverage to forestall any imminent danger.
However, I want admonished members of the public, particularly, residence within these corridors not to make open Fire along these areas in order to avert danger pending the conclusion of the repair works by the NNPC.
