Fidel Pepple, who is the acting NNPC spokesperson, disclosed that the three were members of a team deployed to effect repairs on the recently vandalised products pipeline in Arepo Village in Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area of Ogun.
He said that the three members of the repair team had been confirmed dead and that some were receiving treatment for injuries sustained from gunshots.
Pepple said the NNPC dispatched the team of pipeline engineers and technologists to the ruptured products pipeline site in Arepo after it had successfully put out the flames by ensuring a complete cut-off of product supply to the pipeline from the Atlas-cove and that the PPMC team was on the verge of gaining access to the damaged point to commence proper assessment of the scope of work when they were ambushed by the gunmen.
