Trans-Niger Pipeline Explosion in Rivers State

A massive explosion has occurred at the Trans-Niger Pipeline near Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, causing a fire outbreak.

The explosion took place late Monday night near the Bodo-Bonny Road, which is currently under construction. The cause of the blast remains unclear, and the affected section of the major pipeline is still burning.

Authorities have yet to determine whether the explosion was due to a technical failure, sabotage, or vandalism. However, recent threats from militant groups targeting oil facilities in the region have raised concerns about possible deliberate attacks.

Investigations are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
