The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) on Wednesday said the viral video depicting a pipeline leakage in Aboru, Lagos, was old.
In a statement issued by its Spokesperson, Garba Deen Muhammad, the company clarified that the incident indicated in the video happened in July 2020, close to the Atlas Cove-Mosimi on the System 2B pipeline.
“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,” the statement read.
The company further noted that the said pipeline has not been operational in 2023 and currently contains only water.
