    No pipeline leakage in Aboru axis of Lagos – NNPC

    The Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited has dismissed reports of a pipeline leakage in the Aboru axis of Lagos State.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports NNPC Limited dismissed the reports in a statement on Wednesday by Garba Deen Muhammad, The company’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer.

    According to NNPC, the video in circulation on social media indicating the pipeline leakage in the area is three years old.

    The firm in the statement also confirmed sending its pipeline team swiftly to the location and that the team found out that no such incident had occurred.

    The statement reads: “The NNPC Ltd. wishes to inform the general public, especially communities in the Aboru axis of Lagos State, that a video in circulation on social media indicating a pipeline leakage in the area is three years old and should thus be disregarded in its entirety.

    “When the three-year-old video came to the company’s attention, its pipeline team responded swiftly, and on arrival at the location, the team found out that no such incident had occurred.

    “Further scrutiny of the mischievously recycled video also revealed that the incident occurred in July 2020, close to the Atlas Cove-Mosimi on the System 2B pipeline, which has not been operational in 2023 and currently contains only water”.
