An explosion has rocked a section of the Trans Niger Pipeline in Bodo Community in Gonna Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The explosion occurred late on Monday night near the Bodo-Bonny Road under construction.
Thick black smoke was seen billowing into the atmosphere, with a raging fire spreading fast into the mangrove from a video that emerged on Tuesday morning.
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 reporters, though she had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
