It seems like there has been a major incident involving two explosions at flow stations near the Cawthorne Channel, off the coast of Bonny in Rivers State. The blasts have caused significant damage to the facilities, with flames engulfing the stations, as shown in videos shared by local community members. The possibility that heat from a welding operation ignited the fire is being discussed, though this has not been officially confirmed.
Local authorities, including the Rivers State Police, are aware of the incident and have started an investigation. However, details are still limited. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has been alerted, but no official statements have been made regarding the incident so far.
The explosion has sparked concerns about potential casualties and has drawn attention due to the Cawthorne Channel’s role as a critical hub for oil and gas operations. This is an ongoing story, and updates are likely as investigations progress.
