LASEMA asks public to be cautious around pipeline leakage to avert explosion 

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), has urged members of the public to proceed with extreme caution in and around NNPC pipeline leakage along Ojukwu Str., Navy Town axis of Satellite Town in Lagos.

LASEMA boss Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, who gave the advice on Thursday, said doing so, will prevent any form of explosion or ignition from the naked flame or other activity.

Oke-Osanyintolu, however, gave the assurance that technicians from the NNPC have been alerted to the danger and are on top of the situation.

“We received an alert this evening and upon arrival, it was discovered that an NNPC pipeline along the axis at Ojukwu street, Navy Town was leaking.

“We contacted the NNPC who dispatched a repair team to the location.

“The agency and other first responders intend to remain on high alert until the repairs being carried out by NNPC are fully completed,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
