Bodo Community in the Gonna Local Government Area of Rivers State has experienced an explosion that has rocked a section of the Trans Niger Pipeline.
Late on Monday night, an explosion happened close to the Bodo-Bonny Road, which is still under construction.
A video that surfaced Tuesday morning showed a roaring fire rapidly expanding into the mangrove while thick black smoke billowed into the sky.
The TNP is a federal transport line that supplies oil to the Bonny Export Terminal in Rivers State.
When contacted, the police spokesperson in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, said she would find out and get back to our reporter, though she had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
