A loud explosion was reported to have just rocked the Trans-Niger Pipeline at Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State. According to the eye witness, the explosion occurred late night yesterday near the Bodo-Bonny Road under construction. The affected section of the major pipeline is still on flames until this morning, though the exact cause of the explosion remains unknown at this time of filing this report.
Although it is still not clear of whether the incident was an act of arson from vandals; especially amid recent threats by some group of militant to resume hostility on oil installations in the state if the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike refuses to let the state alone.
Details shortly….
