A pipeline explosion has rocked Olorunkemi/Alaakia village on Elebu Road in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Luckily, no life was lost in the explosion believed to have been caused by vandals, as the State fire service responded promptly to try dousing the flames which almost got out of hand.
Director of the State Fire Service, Mr. Kareem Oyekunle Gafar, while confirming the incident said the explosion might have been caused by pipeline vandals.
He noted that the site of the explosion was not easily accessible due to the swampy nature of the place.
“We had to pass the pipe supplying water along the bush to ensure the fire is put off. We brought 37,000 litres of water to the scene and we have exhausted it.’’ We have since sent another supply of water. We brought two water trucks, one was 22,000 and other was 15 litres,” he said.
Also speaking on the incident, Chairman of Ido Local Government, Prof. Joseph Olowofela, said, “Though I have not confirmed the cause of the fire, I am sure it must have happened due to the activities of pipeline vandals”.
