The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) has confirmed another pipeline blast at an oil field, operated by the Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) in Bayelsa, killing three people.
The Director-General of the agency, Dr Peter Idabor, confirmed the deaths in a telephone interview with the News Agency Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Yenagoa.
He said, however, that a staff of the agency was lucky to escape death during the incident.

A source in Olugboro Community told NAN that the dead people were maintenance workers, repairing crude oil pipelines at Olugboro in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa.
The explosion, which occurred on Easter Sunday, also left several people injured.

Idabor said that the survivor had drawn the attention of oil workers to the breach of safety procedure and left the scene shortly before the incident occurred.

“I received a report of the incident from our staff in Yenagoa office and luckily one of our officers on the team survived.

“Because of the safety conditions of the place after inspection my staff left the place and he was not affected.
“I am going to report the matter officially to the minister of environment today,” Idabor said.

On July 9, 2015 a similar blast at Agip’s oil field in Azuzuama in Southern Ijaw left 14 people dead.

A regulatory official of the Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment and NOSDRA and 12 maintenance crew members were among the victims.

At times use of military and armed forces does not proffer solutions to issues of oil militancy!

But the Dullard only knows of Decrees and Edicts!

Dialogue more stronger than warfare!

Unfortunately caused by average Nigerians against fellow Nigerian.....

Why can't AGIP adhere to global best practices with regards to safety. They should be fined accordingly.

Brother today's weed dey too much...see as u dey yarn babash

R.I.P to the dead. It is so unfortunate that this same pipeline was vandalized by the community early this year. Now that repairs were on-going on that line, it exploded. In as much as NOSDRA has a report that shows a breach of safety procedures, let NAOC face the music.

However, to the Niger Delta people, must you vandalize pipelines? If there is an oil spillage, it still your people that would suffer and you would start screaming for the govt to clean your lands. Gosh!

Please grow some sense. How is Buhari involved in this issue? You read how it was said that there was an unsafe condition at the site. And the survivor noticed it, informed the others and left. Pikin sneeze Buhari, thunder ⚡ strike person Buhari. Easy easy.

"Idabor said that the survivor had drawn the attention of oil workers to the breach of safety procedure and left the scene shortly before the incident occurred."

Didn't they blame sabotage as usual?

This one caught them red handed abi?

NAOC - Not An Oil Company.

They behave more like truck pushers than an International Oil Company but only in Nigeria do they act this way.
