Nigeria shutdown one of the pipelines serving Lagos and the surrounding region following an explosion on the line. The pipeline carries oil products to Lagos and the southwest region.
The country’s emergency response agency, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said that blast took place on the oil products pipeline near the town of Arepo on the edge of Lagos state. NEMA said the explosion was the result of a clash between groups of vandals.
“The situation is still tense, we can’t go in there to check but there has been loss of life,” Onimode Bandele, the NEMA head for the southwestern region, said.
