Bomb Blast At Oil Facility In Imo Kills Two
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The Imo State
...that’s Igbo country, sometimes known as the Biafrans. They seem to like being unhappy, possibly because they hadn’t realized those foreigners would make so much money pulling oil out of their ground ...
Police Command has confirmed that there was a kaboom at a flow station in the oil-producing community of Izombe in the Oguta Local Government Area of the state.

Confirming the incident, the Command’s spokesperson, Mike Abattam said it occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.

Abattam said the earth-shattering kaboom occurred at a facility operated by Addax Petroleum Development Nigeria Limited.

He explained that the Commissioner of Police in Imo 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.

"It happened, there was a kaboom this morning at the facility but the commissioner has deployed our men to the site," NAN quoted him as saying.

An eyewitness who spoke on condition of anonymity, however, said two persons died in the earth-shattering kaboom.

He said that the two middle-aged men were the carriers of the bomb, which went kaboom! and killed them while they were trying to find their way into the flow station through the entrance.
