Oando Plc has attributed the 27 June oil spill from its Azuzuama-1 flowline in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State to suspected third-party sabotage.
The company made this known in a statement by its General Manager, Corporate Communications, Alero Balogun, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Mrs Balogun said the spill occurred along the company’s four-inch Azuzuama-1 flowline at the Azuzuama community.
She said Oando immediately activated its emergency response team to contain the spill in line with established response protocols and regulatory requirements.
According to her, the company worked with the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, the Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment and representatives of the host community.
