A pipeline vandalism incident in Rivers State led to an explosion that killed one person and injured two others.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the criminals, after vandalizing the pipeline, mishandled a dynamite while en route to Touma-Ama Community. The explosion resulted in one fatality and two individuals being injured.
The body of the deceased was buried in the early hours of April 13, and one of the victim?s severed legs was found by the water?s edge.
The Nigerian Navy apprehended one of the suspects involved, and an ongoing interrogation is being conducted by the Naval Department.
Meanwhile, the security forces are intensifying their search efforts to locate the injured criminals, who are believed to be receiving medical treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt. (Text, excluding headline: Zagazola)
