Security forces in Rivers State have foiled an attempt to bomb another oil pipeline amid rising tensions in the state.
A joint operation involving the Nigerian Police Force, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and other security agencies intercepted the attack, preventing what could have been a major disruption to critical infrastructure.
The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, who spoke on behalf of the security agencies, confirmed the development on Tuesday.
He emphasized that the ongoing security operations were necessary to maintain order and prevent criminals from exploiting the situation.
