Siraj Abdullahi, executive director of the hydroelectric dam
in Zungeru, Niger state, says there was no explosion at the facility.
Abdullahi was reacting to reports that there was an
explosion at the dam that caused injury to some workers, including a Chinese
national.
The reports said the unnamed Chinese engineer was conducting
a routine check when the explosion happened.
In a notice, the executive director described the reports as
a “wicked lie”.
“There is a fake news on several media houses,” Abdullahi
said.
“This is a wicked lie. We are fine in Zungeru nothing
happened and we are on the Grid.
“Please disregard this hate news. We are doing a video
rebuttal soon.”
Also, Wasiu Abiodun, spokesperson of the police command in
Niger, said there was no kind of explosion at the dam.
“We wish to respond that there is no report of any kind of
explosion at Zungeru Dam, as reported by some online media, we urge members of
the public to kindly disregard please,” the spokesperson said.
“Thanks for your usual cooperation and understanding with
the Police and other security agencies in the State.”
