The Nigerian Army and officers of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC have uncovered another
illegal oil well in Lagos State. This came barely two
weeks after the police and other security agencies
discovered about 10 houses on Ibadan and Abeokuta
streets in Ilasamaja axis of the state, where wells where
linked to oil pipelines through which diesel was
siphoned.
Vanguard gathered that the supposed dug well was
discovered last Thursday within the premises of Winners
Satellite Church, Iyana-Odo, Igando-Ikotun Local Council
Development Area, LCDA, it was filled Petroleum Motor
Spirit, PMS.
The resident pastor, Oladela Paul who narrated to NSCDC
Lagos Commandant, Tajudeen Balogun, who led the
operation, said that the church had sent a formal
complain to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC when they noticed the well was filled with PMS.
He lamented that months after writing the NNPC for
solution, the Church was yet to get any response from
the Corporation, adding “well has become a source of
harassment to the church and our members.
Aside the harassment, we are afraid of the impending
hazard which we cannot determine.” Confirming the
discovery, Balogun in a statement made available to
vanguard by NSCDC Public Relation Officer, PRO,
Kehinde Bada, said “the visit is to evaluate the extent of
the spillage and take necessary actions.”
