Police Find Slain NNPC Officials’ Corpses in Ogun

Exactly a month after three employees of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation were allegedly killed by suspected pipeline vandals in Arepo, Ogun State, the police have found their corpses.

The Police Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism on Saturday recovered bullet-ridden bodies of the workers, identified as a Deputy Manager in charge of Pipelines Right of Way and two other engineers deployed in the area to repair a vandalised pipeline on September 5, 2012.

“We found, in a decomposing state, bullet-ridden bodies of the three victims. We learnt that the body of the local security guard employed by the NNPC, Taye, was cut into pieces and thrown into a swamp,” the head of the task force, Friday Ibadin, said.
