Authorities have yet to determine whether the incident resulted from human interference, especially amid recent threats by militant groups to attack oil installations in response to the Federal Government’s withholding of Rivers State’s allocation due to the ongoing political crisis.

The explosion reportedly occurred on Monday night along the critical export pipeline that transports crude to the Bonny Terminal.
