According to The Nation, an emergency clean-up operation was launched on Monday evening after residents in the area reported oil and chemical odours rising from their drains.
Initial response teams deployed oil-absorbing booms to stop the spread, and then applied an environmentally-friendly solution to break down oil molecules in the water without causing any residual problems.
