Residents of Azaka, Iguiye and neighbouring communities around the Ovia River in Edo state were thrown into confusion on Friday night, October 28, as loud explosion erupted at a facility of the Nigeria Gas Company (NGC) in the area.
According to The Nation, it was suspected that a valve station located around a power line was damaged by the explosion.
As at the time of filing this report, it was not clear what caused the explosion as some locals said that they suspect that it was bombed by militants.
“We saw pieces of gas cylinder and other things that might have been used to blow up the station,” one local said.
A well known farmer in the area, Anthony Odoyibo, confirming the report appealed to Nigerians to give peace a chance.
“We heard a very loud explosion around 10 or or 11pm. Everybody was very afraid. Some people who went there confirmed that it was the pipeline that was blown up,” Odoyibo added.
However, no militant group has come forward to claim responsibility for the attack.
Meanwhile, the Niger Delta Avengers have blown up Chevron Escravos export pipeline at Escravos offshore.
The militants confirmed the attack in a statement on their official website on Tuesday, October 25. The avengers claimed the attack is a warning that there should be no repairs to destroyed pipelines in the Niger Delta until after the proposed dialogue with the federal government.
