Breaking: Explosion Rocks Trans-Niger pipeline ln Rivers
An explosion has struck the Trans-Niger Pipeline in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, sparking a fire at the affected section.
The cause of the blast remains unknown and authorities are investigating whether it resulted from sabotage, particularly in light of recent threats from militant groups to target oil infrastructure.
These 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.
