On spot with the bolded.
Truth is that the news was exegerrated by the press.Impecable details include;
-A road construction bulldozer punctured the pipeline.Serious efforts by the construction company to get a map of NNPC pipelines in Lagos in a bid to know where to avoid while excavating the earth during construction, was to no avail for a long time.Maybe somebody expected to be bribed before such a detailed document could be released which could have averted this ugly incident.
-Number of casualties;
15 dead including 2 children and 20 injuredthe 100 death report was pure sensationalism which is very misleading.
While recognising the ugly hand of negligence both in analysing the factors that contributed to the incident and the reaction of authorities afterwards,we should at least,put the figures straight.
