A
tanker vessel carrying imported fuel was early this morning rocked by an
explosion near Atlas Cove Jetty, Lagos, on the high sea. The cause of
the explosion and other details in respect of the accident are yet to be
known though some sources claim they could be the handiwork of pirates
while others say it was actually the Nigerian Navy that blew up the
vessel suspected to be carrying adulterated fuel. However, sources said
that rescue operation has since commenced at the scene of the accident.
Officials of NNPC and PPMC promised to issue a press statement later in
the day, giving details of what happened and the casualty level.
