An
illegal oil well has been uncovered within the premises of Winners
satellite church, Iyana-Odo, Igando-Ikotun local council development
area, Lagos state. The oil well was discovered by the Nigerian army and
officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC),
Vanguard reports. According to the resident pastor, Oladela Paul, the
church had sent a formal complain to Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) when they noticed the well within the church premise
was filled with Petroleum Motor Spirit.
He
lamented that the church was yet to get any response from the NNPC,
months after writing the corporation for solution. The pastor said the
well has become a source of harassment to the church and our members.
Paul said aside the harassment, the church was afraid of the impending
hazard which it cannot determine. The NSCDC Lagos commandant, Tajudeen
Balogun, who led the operation, confirmed the discovery. He said the
visit to the church was to evaluate the extent of the spillage and take
necessary actions.
