The Pipelines and Products Marketing Company has announced
the closure of one of its network lines in the South West, as a result of an
explosion. The explosion occurred as vandals tried to siphon petroleum products
from the network, located at Arepo along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The explosion prompted the shutdown of the
‘System 2B Network,’ which is the channel pumping petroleum products from Atlas
Cove in Lagos to other depots in the southwest region.
Although the Nigerian Police Force, the Nigerian Civil
Defence Corps and the community’s vigilante monitor all pipelines passing
through the area, it is difficult to provide security in the place because of
its swampy nature.
