The Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) in Bodo community, Gokana local government area (LGA) of Rivers state, has resumed operations.
On Monday night, fire erupted on a segment of the TNP along the Bodo-Bonny road.
In the video of the incident on social media, flames were seen rising in the sky from the inferno.
The TNP, a critical federal oil transport line, feeds crude oil to the Bonny export terminal in Rivers state.
The explosion led to a temporary shutdown and raised concerns about potential environmental damage and oil supply disruption in the region.
Tony Okonedo, Renaissance Group’s spokesperson, told TheCable on Wednesday that operations have resumed.
“Operations have resumed. We previously suspended operations to respond to a third-party interference but now we have resumed,” Okonedo said.
The explosion of the pipeline came amid political tension in Rivers.
On Monday, lawmakers loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), commenced impeachment proceedings against Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.
On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.
The president also suspended Fubara, Ngozi Odu, his deputy, and members of the state assembly.
Tinubu nominated Ibok-Ete Ibas, a retired vice-admiral, to administer the state

A devastating tanker explosion which occurred in Lagos, southwestern Nigeria, on Tuesday night, has caused widespread destruction and left many commuters stranded.
The incident occurred at the Otedola Bridge axis, a major highway connecting Lagos to other parts of the country, around 8:00 p.m.
Multiple witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with flames engulfing several vehicles and nearby buildings. HumAngle’s reporter was around the bridge when he saw the tanker explode.
Emergency responders, including firefighters and paramedics, have been deployed to the scene, and efforts are ongoing to extinguish the flames and rescue those trapped in the wreckage. While the exact number of casualties is still unknown, several people were reported injured, and many vehicles were destroyed.
It has also caused a massive traffic gridlock, leaving many commuters stranded for hours. Authorities have also advised motorists to seek alternative routes.
Reacting to the incident, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, in a post on social media, said recovery efforts are ongoing. “Due to the incident, there is currently no movement in or out of Otedola Under Bridge, resulting in a complete blockade of the area,” part of the post read.
Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte boarded a jet on Tuesday, his daughter and local media said, hours after he was arrested at the request of the International Criminal Court over killings in his war on drugs.
Veronica Duterte, the ex-leader's youngest daughter, said on Instagram he had boarded the plane but the family had not been informed of its destination, accompanying the post with a picture of a small bus on an airfield.
"They took dad from us, put him on a plane and wouldn't say where to. People, wake up," she posted.
ABS-CBN News posted a video on X of Duterte boarding a jet in a Manila airfield and the Philippine Star newspaper said on X it had received confirmation from a senior police official that the flight was bound for the Hague, where the ICC is based.
Police did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for confirmation.
Duterte, the maverick former mayor who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, was arrested at a Manila airport on arrival from Hong Kong early on Tuesday, in a major step in the ICC's investigation into thousands of killings in an anti-drugs crackdown that defined his presidency.
