Nigeria: Vandals Rupture Agip Oil Pipeline in Delta

SUSPECTED pipeline vandals have ruptured Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) pipelines in Burutu Local Governmnt Area of Delta State but unfortunately for them, they could not accomplish their mission of carting away the oil pipes.

Saturday Vanguard learnt that the vandals, thinking that there was no oil in the pipeline, tampered with the pipeline at three points, only for oil to start gushing out.


“Because their mission was to dismember and steal the pipes, they took to their heels on seeing that oil was flowing everywhere. However, they have seriously polluted Okontu community and the neighbouring communities by their criminal action”, a source told this reporter.
