Blast at illegal oil refinery in Nigeria kills at least 18
At least 18 peoplevdied in southern Nigeria when an illegal oil refinery exploded into flames, a security official and residents said on Tuesday.
The blaze which broke out late on Sunday in Rivers State, occurred when a home-made refinery ignited a nearby oil reservoir, leaving victims severely burned, a security official said.
"25 injured people were rescued," said spokesman for the local Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps.
The workers at the site were refining oil taken from a vandalized pipe, according to a local activist. “When they scoop from the point where they vandalized the pipe, they will take to where they were cooking. That is how fire got there.” 18+++ Graphic photos
