Breaking: Explosion rocks Rivers pipeline

A massive explosion has rocked the Trans-Niger Pipeline at Bodo in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, sparking a raging fire along the critical oil infrastructure.
The cause of the explosion remains unclear, but authorities are investigating whether it was an accident or an act of sabotage, particularly in light of the threats by militant groups. The threats had emerged following the Federal Government’s decision to withhold Rivers State’s allocation due to the ongoing political crisis in the state.
The blast reportedly occurred on Monday night, affecting a key export pipeline that channels crude oil to the Bonny Terminal. The extent of the damage and possible casualties have yet to be confirmed.
Emergency responders and security agencies are expected to assess the situation as concerns mount over the potential impact on oil production and environmental safety in the region.
