The line which situated at Otu-Jeremi town in Ughelli and operated by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, an NNPC’s Upstream subsidiary, was reported to have gone up in flames yesterday by a section of the media.
Speaking shortly after teeing off the 2019 NNPC Upstream Golf Tournament in Benin City, the Group Managing Director of NNPC, MELE KYARI described the incident as a mere rupture on one of the Corporation’s pipelines which would be fixed within three days.
The GMD, who assured that the incident, would have no impact on the nation’s power supply, also called on host communities within the area to disregard the rumours and go about their normal activities.
