Fresh information reaching the Niger Delta Herald Metro indicates that the crisis in Biseni Community has reportedly resulted in the rupture of an oil pipeline in the area, raising fresh concerns over security and environmental safety.
The cause of the pipeline burst could not be immediately ascertained, as tension continues to escalate in the community.
The development comes after Niger Delta Herald Metro earlier reported that a Facebook user raised an alarm over the alleged invasion of Biseni by individuals dressed in military camouflage, calling on relevant authorities to intervene and prevent further escalation of the crisis.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from security agencies or the oil company operating the affected pipeline regarding the incident.
Niger Delta Herald Metro will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
