Explosion rocks Trans-Niger Pipeline in Rivers

An explosion has occurred along the Trans-Niger Pipeline at Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area, Rivers State.

The affected section of the pipeline is currently ablaze, though the cause of the explosion remains unclear.

Authorities have not yet confirmed if human interference was involved, especially following recent threats from militant groups targeting oil installations in retaliation for the Federal Government’s withholding of Rivers State’s allocation amid the ongoing political crisis.

The explosion took place on Monday night along the vital export pipeline that transports crude to the Bonny Terminal.
