The blast occurred at a Manifold Connecting federal line in Okwawriwa area, ONELGA, on Tuesday morning, sending massive flames into the air.
According to eyewitnesses, the explosion happened at a facility that conveys petroleum products from Seplat, Agip, and Shell, serving ONELGA and parts of Imo State, to Brass in Bayelsa State.
It was gathered that the facility is located at a distance from residential homes, minimizing the risk of casualties.
This latest explosion comes on the heels of a similar incident at the Trans-Niger Pipeline, operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), which transports oil to Bonny Terminal.
