The people of Soku community in Rivers State have dismissed reports circulating on social media that an explosion occurred on gas pipelines along the Soku-Abua-Rumuji Right of Way.
The Soku oil and gas field, which forms a critical part of Oil Mining Licence (OML) 23, is a joint venture between Eni, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPCL), Shell, and TotalEnergies.
Witness Alasia, the Secretary of the Soku Community Development Committee, released a statement in Port Harcourt on Sunday, labeling the reports as “disheartening and worrisome, untrue and not factual.”
