Paria Fu­el Trad­ing Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed is re­fut­ing claims made by the Oil­fields Work­ers Trade Union this morn­ing, that the body of the fourth div­er in­volved in a trag­ic ac­ci­dent at one of its pipelines, was re­cov­ered in parts.

In an of­fi­cial state­ment ti­tled “The fourth div­er has not been found”, Paria as­serts that re­cov­ery ef­forts will not stop un­til the last man is brought home.

The fol­low­ing is the full text of the Paria state­ment…

“Paria Fu­el Trad­ing Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (Paria) cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly de­nies that the body of the fourth div­er has been found as stat­ed by the OW­TU Ed­u­ca­tion and Re­search Of­fi­cer Ozzie War­wick to Guardian Me­dia.

All the af­fect­ed fam­i­lies con­tin­ue to be in­formed with time­ly up­dates and ear­li­er this morn­ing (01 March 2022) were ad­vised that re­cov­ery op­er­a­tions will con­tin­ue re­lent­less­ly un­til the fourth body is found.

Paria again ex­tends its con­do­lences to the af­fect­ed fam­i­lies and will con­tin­ue to pro­vide all nec­es­sary sup­port.”
