An explosion has occurred at the Trans-Niger Pipeline in Bodo, located in the Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State. The explosion, which took place late on Monday night, has ignited a fire in the affected section of the pipeline near the Bodo-Bonny Road, which is currently under construction.
The cause of the explosion is still unknown, and it is unclear whether it was due to human interference. This uncertainty is heightened by recent threats from militant groups targeting oil installations in the region, raising the possibility of sabotage.
Authorities are likely investigating the incident, and further details are expected to follow as more information becomes available.
