He said that on Wednesday morning, officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Police, Directorate of State Security (DSS) and some other sister agencies were at the scene to engage in the supervision and monitoring of the process of emptying the 12 oil wells discovered at Abeokuta Street, in Ilasamja.
Owoseni said, “We are at the point of emptying all the oil wells.”

Adding, “It is for the NNPC experts to test the quality of the product and also test the quality of the soil. We also want to know the source of the AGO and how it entered inside the wells. Most people have vacated the area because of fire outbreak.”
