At least 80 people have been killed in an illegal oil refinery explosion in southern Nigeria, emergency services said Sunday.
The blast occurred late Friday at an off-site between the oil-rich southern states of Rivers and Imo, police said.
“We found at least 80 bodies with signs of severe burns at the site,” Ifianye Nagy of the National Emergency Agency at the scene told AFP, adding that the number could rise further.
