This pipeline has been leaking for about three weeks before the explosion today,\u201d he said.\nHe disclosed that community leaders had notified the company about the leakage, but no proper action was taken.\nHe added that most of those affected were passers-by and business owners operating within the vicinity.\nConfirming the incident, the Leader of Eleme Legislative Council, Daniel Chuma, who visited the scene, said he had earlier written to the company about the leak and petitioned relevant authorities for urgent intervention.\n\u201cThere was a leakage on another section of the Nigeria Gas Company. We wrote to them and we did a petition to NOSDRA and Rivers State Ministry of Environment and copied the police for urgent intervention.\n\u201cWe asked for a joint investigation. We don\u2019t know what they did before they left. Today we were called to an explosion at the same pipeline of the Nigeria Gas Company that has destroyed over 50 houses, cars, and many casualties. People have been rushed to hospital,\u201d Chuma stated. \n \n \n King Appolus Chu unveils new roads, displaces kidnappers, drives Eleme\u2019s transformationHost communities allege Port Harcourt Refinery shutdown aims for private refinery monopoly2 children killed, 20 injured in Gombe stampede\nHe lamented that no representative of the company had visited the scene at the time of filing this report.\n\u201cWhat we have done is to guard the incident scene with caution tapes and asked our community people to stay off.\n\u201cBefore now everyone scampered for safety. The few that came we asked them to stay far to avoid any further incident,\u201d he added.\nMeanwhile, the Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre, YEAC-Nigeria, has also confirmed the incident, saying many victims have been hospitalised.\nExecutive Director of YEAC-Nigeria, Dr Fyneface Dumnamene, in a statement said: \u201cWe are using this medium to call on the relevant authorities, the Rivers State government, Ministry of Environment, NOSDRA, the Federal Government, and all the bodies involved in checking oil spill and gas explosion to come to the aid of Aleto people. This is a serious incident.\u201d\nDumnamene noted that the inferno was still raging at press time and affected surrounding buildings, with some residents reportedly hospitalised.\n\u201cAs of the time of this statement, YEAC-Nigeria has not independently confirmed any fatalities.\n\u201cMembers of the Advocacy Centre\u2019s volunteers who visited the scene for independent verification confirmed the presence of officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps on the ground.\n\u201cThe cause of the incident is yet to be independently verified.\n\u201cYEAC-Nigeria calls on the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) to identify the facility operator and conduct a Joint Investigation Visit to the site, and to invoke relevant provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 as appropriate,\u201d he added." ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792188268.414658", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-16T22:16:07.450340+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://thesun.ng/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-10-16T22:16:07.441866+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "Rivers: 20 injured, 50 houses razed in gas pipeline explosion", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792188268.414658", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-16T22:16:07.399234+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--reject=js,mjs,woff,woff2,ttf,otf,eot,mp4,m4v,mov,webm,ogv,mkv,avi,flv", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "--timestamping", "https://thesun.ng/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-10-16T22:16:07.387617+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "thesun.ng/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/index.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792188268.414658", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-16T22:15:57.820257+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "Rivers: 20 injured, 50 houses razed in gas pipeline explosion", "warc": null, "wget": "thesun.ng/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/index.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1792188268.414658", "newest_archive_date": "2026-10-16T22:16:09.314168+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-10-16T22:15:56.465104+00:00", "path": "/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "a8268509-3fe3-4f09-96ab-c0d8b38d38c1", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1792188268-import.txt" ], "tags": ",pool,escalation,war-wiki", "tags_str": "pool,escalation,war-wiki", "timestamp": "1792188268.414658", "title": "Rivers: 20 injured, 50 houses razed in gas pipeline explosion", "updated": "2026-10-16T22:15:56.464904+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-10-16 22:15", "url": "https://thesun.ng/rivers-20-injured-50-houses-razed-in-gas-pipeline-explosion/" }
