A gas pipeline caught fire overnight in Nigeria’s Rivers State, the third incident in a week at facilities in an oil-rich region that’s under emergency rule.
There was a “fire outbreak in one of the gas pipelines along Soku-Abua-Rumuji right-of-way,” in Rivers State, Witness Alasia, general secretary on behalf of the Soku Kingdom, said in a statement Sunday. Vanguard, a local newspaper, reported an explosion at the facility.
