Oil Spill at 14" Akri-Ebocha Pipeline at Abaezi Community, Ohaji/Egbema L.G.A. Imo State

A 3" inches piping connection linked through a ball valve and connected to the 14" pipeline at 12 o'clock position. At the time of JIV, smokes from a nearby illegal refining site was observed. It is obvious that the illegal connection had been there long before being detected. There was no visible impact around the spill point. Patches of crude stain soil could be observed in the dug pit at incident point.
