Host Community Reacts To Reported Explosion At NLNG Pipeline In Rivers

The Soku community in Rivers State has refuted social media reports of a gas pipeline explosion along the Soku-Abua-Rumuji Right of Way.

The Soku oil and gas field, a key part of OML 23, is jointly operated by Eni, NNPCL, Shell, and TotalEnergies.

Witness Alasia, Secretary of the Soku Community Development Committee, in a statement released on Sunday, labeled the reports as “disheartening and worrisome, untrue and not factual.”

However, Alasia clarified that there was a fire outbreak on the pipeline, but emphasized that it was not an explosion and should not cause alarm.

He also specified that the pipeline belongs to NLNG and transports gas from the Soku Gas Plant to NLNG’s liquefaction plant in Bonny Island.

He said: “On behalf of the Leadership of Soku Kingdom, I write to debunk the falsehood escalating in all social media that there was an explosion in the Soku Gas Plant.

“It is disheartening and worrisome that people will mischievously be misinforming the public with a baseless and untrue story.

“Soku Gas Plant is safe and in a perfect working condition. The public should disregard this unguided and untrue report.

“The cause of the fire outbreak is unknown and the company also has not come up with any useful information. We use this medium to inform the public that Soku and her satellite communities are safe and calm.”
