B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G: Ikotun To Burn As Various Leaders Romance Pipeline Vandals

For the second time in about 6 months, vandals who tampered with NNPC pipeline, at Pipeline/Omoboriowo junction, along Igando road, Igando/Ikotun Local Council Development Area, Lagos state have struck and escaped, leaving volumes of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) flowing superfluously through the interconnected drainages that link Ikotun, Igando, Ijegun and Egbe areas.

In this latest vandalism, like the previous, the perpetrators escaped leaving the people scampering and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency and the fire service to struggle with the situation.

Five months ago, only a tanker and pipes belonging to the vandals were seized by police and officials of the Nigerian Security & Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, but the aftermath was never known till date; a reason the vandals gathered effrontery to return with more dangerous capacity.

Today's free flow of petrol in gutters was massive from about 2am till about 6am when LASEMA, fire service and other safety and security outfits began to surface.
If not for God, the entire area would have conflagrated, killing scores and consuming wanton property across divides.

In the usual cosmetic and superficial measures and funny enough, it was learnt that the emergency agencies allegedly demanded market leaders in raise over 200,000,00 for the purchase of foam to curb flame.

The highpoint of the discoveries is that grapevine information fingered community leaders, local security operatives in the area, Area boys, traditional rulers and of course the police and their allies as grand accomplices to the heinous crimes.

More so, it was gathered that the perpetrators enter into town from Lagos Island, lodge in hotels in town, settle relevant people before operating unhindered.

The challenges that resulted in the first and second spillages and mayhem occurred because alien security interests bursted them and made them flee without tidying up the bunkering spot

I heard of it

God will punish the perpetrators.they will not enjoy that money.
