I RECEIVED WITH RUDE SHOCK,THE UNFORTUNATE LOSS OF LIVES AT THE PIPELINE EXPLOSION IN OHAJI-EGBEMA- GOV. UZODIMMA. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.


I received, with rude shock, the unfortunate loss of lives at the pipeline explosion in Ohaji/Egbema as a result of illegal bunkering activities around the region.

This is one of the unexpected occurrences that has informed our campaign and fight against criminality and banditry in our society. I have been consistent in preaching against any practice that could lead to national economic sabotage and jeopardy.

While it remains pathetic that lives have been lost, this unfortunate incident calls for a redress by all who are in that illicit practice, to turn a new leaf and save lives.

At my instance, the Imo State Commissioner for Petroleum, Rt. Hon. Goodluck Nanah Opiah visited the affected area and we shall review the breached protocols and implement necessary procedures to avert a reoccurrence.

- Hope Uzodimma
