Fire rages for two days - Pipeline explosion at Arepo…


 
According to officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the fire started at about 10PM Wednesday night following a gun battle between NNPC security men and some unidentified individuals suspected to be pipeline vandals.

However, efforts by the NEMA officials to get to the scene of the incident to ascertain the extent of damage done has been hampered by the swampy nature of the area which has made access to the place difficult.

Up till now today the raging fire has not been quenched ………

Hmmmmmm! How sad!
