The Nigerian Petroleum Company Limited has debunked reports making the rounds of a pipeline leakage in the Aboru axis of Lagos State.
Garba Deen Muhammad, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Limited, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said investigations by the company revealed no pipeline leakage in the Aboru axis of Lagos state.
According to him, the video circulating on the Aburo pipeline leakage is three years old.
“That video in circulation on social media indicating a pipeline leakage in the area is three years old and should thus be disregarded.
“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 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,” he said.
