t was learnt that the explosion occurred in the early hours of Wednesday at the facility operated by Addax Petroleum Development Nigeria Limited.

No fewer than two persons have been killed by an explosion at a flow station in the oil-producing community of Izombe in the Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.

It was learnt that the explosion occurred in the early hours of Wednesday at the facility operated by Addax Petroleum Development Nigeria Limited.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in Imo, Micheal Abattam, said that the Commissioner of Police immediately drafted the command’s anti-bomb unit, as well as some operatives of the command to the area to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

The eyewitness explained that the victims were trying to find their way into the flow station through the entrance when the bomb exploded and killed them.

Addax Petroleum is one of the two oil companies located in the Izombe community. In recent times, the community has been a hotbed of insecurity and violence.

The most recent is the clash between some youths in the area and officials of the Nigeria Army which left many dead and several houses destroyed.

An explosion at an oil facility may not be a bomb. Let's wait for comprehensive investigation.

I remember that soldiers went to that community to burn houses early this year

What do you expect FG to do

"As you can see, the economy of Nigeria is in danger due to the sit-at-home- order, the president can not sleep, eat, and even sh*i*t".
......Aisha Buhari

Sad and must stop

These people killing innocent souls is un called for Lalasticlala!

It is shameful a former General has no solution to security problem!

"The victims died while trying to gain access to the facility..." Suicide bombers?

I really don't know what is happening in this godforsaken country. Imo is a top gas producing state and gas recently overtook crude oil as the highest foreign exchange earner for Nigeria. It seems there is a struggle to control these resources!!

Bomb in SE? I doubt.. The level of foolishness of Igbos or UGM hasn't got to that

We keep destroying in Nigeria and we will still need money to rebuild!
