    Lagos — Nigeria is about to face tougher gas scarcity, as the 24-inch Ogboinbiri/OB-OB gas pipeline operated by Nigerian Agip Oil Company, NAOC has; for the second time one month, been vandalised and set ablaze.

    The sad incident occurred on Wednesday on the pipeline located within Okaka and Azikoro in Yenagoa Local Government Area barely one week after it was attacked by vandals on March 29.

    The breach of the pipeline puts at risk gas export feed to the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG gathering and processing plant.

    Idris Musa, Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA while confirming the incident, said the spills response agency had on March 30 said that its investigations revealed a rising spate of sabotage-induced oil and gas leaks at oilfields in Bayelsa.

    Musa had raised the alarm that three sabotage incidents had occurred on oil and gas facilities in Bayelsa within one week and advised operators to reinforce surveillance.

    The NOSDRA boss explained that shortly after fixing the gas pipeline a few days ago, vandals blew it up and it went up in flames.

    “The Nigerian Agip Oil Company is working actively to depressurize the pipeline in order to affect repairs on it,” Musa said.

    Officials of NAOC are yet to issue an official statement on the fresh vandalism incident
