An explosion has rocked the Trans-Niger Pipeline at Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The explosion occurred late Monday night near the Bodo-Bonny Road, which is currently under construction.
The affected section of the major pipeline is still on fire, though the exact cause of the explosion remains unknown.
It is unclear whether the incident resulted from human interference, especially amid recent threats by militant groups to attack oil installations.
These threats stem from the Federal Government’s withholding of Rivers State’s allocation due to the ongoing political crisis.
The TNP, a critical federal oil transport line, supplies crude oil to the Bonny export terminal in Rivers State.
The explosion has raised concerns about potential environmental damage and disruptions to oil supply in the region.
Government authorities have not yet issued any statements regarding the incident.
