| NIGERIA PIPELINE blast kills more than 100 |
|
At least 36 people have been taken to a nearby military hospital, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman Abdulsalam Mohammed said. Nigeria is one of the world's major oil producers and pipelines cut through many residential areas, both in cities such as Lagos and oil-producing areas.
Several of these have exploded, often when local people cut holes in them to steal oil. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says there at least 400 acts of vandalism on its pipelines each year, reports the AP news agency. At least 40 people were killed in a pipeline explosion in December in Lagos last year. In 2006, some 400 people were killed in two blasts in Lagos |
