NNPC pipeline was vandalized on Saturday January 12th at Arepo in Ogun
state, barely a month after it was fixed after it was vandalized in
August 2012. The vandalism led to an explosion that killed several
people.
Bodies of four of those people were found yesterday Sunday January 13th
floating in the swamp around the explosion site in Arepo. The bodies had
floated up from the water, while several bodies are suspected to be
inside the swamp.
The explosion occurred according to an eye witness, Sunday Reuben
(pictured above, who is now late) after two of the vandals reportedly
engaged in a heated argument which led to one of them shooting into the
air with his rifle. Bullets shot from the rifle hit the ruptured
pipeline and led to the explosion. Several died, many arrested.
