Oil marketers suffered a major safety scare following an oil spill that saw several depots in Nairobi’s Industrial Area evacuated on Tuesday morning.
The spillage was detected at around 9.30am after pressure built on drainage systems in the area, blowing off several concrete manhole covers.
The incident triggered an alarm, leading to the evacuation of staff and loaders at various depots including those run by Vivo Energy Kenya and the National Oil Corporation of Kenya
