Trans-Niger Pipeline Resumes Operations After Explosion (14123 Views)

nlfpmod: 10:07pm On Mar 19

The Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) in Bodo community, Gokana local government area (LGA) of Rivers state, has resumed operations.

On Monday night, fire erupted on a segment of the TNP along the Bodo-Bonny road.

In the video of the incident on social media, flames were seen rising in the sky from the inferno.

The TNP, a critical federal oil transport line, feeds crude oil to the Bonny export terminal in Rivers state.

The explosion led to a temporary shutdown and raised concerns about potential environmental damage and oil supply disruption in the region.

Tony Okonedo, Renaissance Group’s spokesperson, told TheCable on Wednesday that operations have resumed.

“Operations have resumed. We previously suspended operations to respond to a third-party interference but now we have resumed,” Okonedo said.

The explosion of the pipeline came amid political tension in Rivers.

On Monday, lawmakers loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), commenced impeachment proceedings against Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.

On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.

The president also suspended Fubara, Ngozi Odu, his deputy, and of the state assembly.

Tinubu nominated Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired vice-iral, to ister the state

COMRADES are speechless, imagine. Because of this minor issue, Tinubu subverted the will of the people of Rivers State and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at large by declaring a state of emergency. Tinubu is a slowpoke

What a shame!

We already know there was no pipeline explosion, twas only a ploy to remove Sim and declare state of emergency
I don't blame politicians again, my biggest blame goes to renowned men of God that can't start the protest on their massive pulpits.

If Tinubu really know how many soldiers died in the creeks back in those Obasanjo days,they will be careful.

Ijaws for water is a no go area,a military boat moving like 15 soldiers wielding guns,then allover sudden then boat sank,few minutes later 15 dead soldier bodies were floating with no guns. This drama will start again

They're already having seizures and convulsing like an epileptic patient. They will repent again and saying nice things about the country towards 2027, when they want to package their fraud for us again
