Major Gas Pipeline in Bayelsa Targeted by Hoodlums

Hoodlums suspected to be oil thieves have vandalized the Ogboinbiri/Obiobi 24-inch gas pipeline between Angiama and Angiamagbene communities in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. This pipeline, operated by Oando Energy Plc, is a crucial conduit feeding the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) export facility in Bonny. ​

The Bayelsa State Government has strongly condemned this act of economic sabotage and is collaborating with security agencies to apprehend those responsible. Mrs. Ebiuwou Koku-Obiyai, the Commissioner for Information, Orientation, and Strategy, emphasized the administration’s zero-tolerance policy towards such activities and called on citizens to assist in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
