Fire Outbreak At Dangote Refinery [Video]

The statement read: “We have swiftly contained a minor fire incident at our effluent treatment plant (ETP) today, Wednesday, 26th of June.

“There is no cause for alarm as the refinery is operating normally, and there are no recorded injuries or bodily harm to any of our staff on duty.”

A video of the fire, showing thick dark smoke rising from one of the tank storages, was shared on social media.
