Explosion Engulfs Trans-Niger Pipeline in Rivers State
A blast has struck the Trans-Niger Pipeline in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The impacted section of the key pipeline is currently ablaze, though the precise cause of the explosion remains undetermined.
Authorities are still investigating whether the incident was caused by human interference, particularly in light of recent threats from militant groups to target oil infrastructure in response to the Federal Government’s decision to withhold Rivers State’s allocation amid an ongoing political dispute.
The explosion reportedly took place on Monday night along the vital export pipeline that transports crude oil to the Bonny Terminal.
