A twin explosion on Wednesday night rocked two flow stations near the Cawthorne Channel off the coast of Bonny in Rivers State, raising fears of casualties.
The blasts reportedly destroyed several facilities at the flow station, located around 30 nautical miles from Bonny’s coastline.
The Cawthorne Channel is a major hub for oil and gas facilities, situated near the boundary between Bonny and Degema Local Government Areas in Rivers State.
Videos posted online by community members showed two stations engulfed in flames, with locals inspecting the scene from speedboats.
In the videos, conversations suggested that heat from a welding operation may have ignited the fire, which spread rapidly.
Officials from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited were reportedly alerted by locals and visited the site.
