A devastating explosion has rocked the Trans-Niger Pipeline in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, triggering a massive fire at the impacted section.
As authorities scramble to determine the cause of the blast, suspicions of sabotage are mounting, particularly in the wake of recent threats from militant groups vowing to target oil infrastructure.
An investigation is currently underway to uncover the truth behind the explosion.
Persecondnews could not confirm as of time of this report if the threats have been linked to the Federal Government’s withholding of Rivers State’s allocation amid the ongoing political crisis.
The incident reportedly occurred on Monday night along the vital export pipeline that transports crude to the Bonny Terminal.
More details shortly…
