NNPC Limited confirms an incident involving an explosion reported at about 17:50 hours on 10th December 2025 near Tebijor, Okpele, and Ikpopo communities in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State.

Initial observations indicate a pressure drop consistent with a loss of containment on an NNPC Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC) pipeline. The cause of the explosion is still unknown but would be confirmed after a detailed investigation has been concluded. Our priority at this time is the safety of nearby communities and the protection of the environment.

Emergency response procedures have been activated, and we are working closely with relevant authorities and community leaders to ensure a coordinated approach to mitigate impact.

NNPC Limited remains committed to the highest safety and environmental standards.

Further updates will be provided as more confirmed information becomes available.

Hungry Nigerians at work.

nairalanda1:
It's time we stopped using hunger as an excuse for crime...and no, government is not excused from doing its work. But many criminals don't enter crime because hunger.

Why are the ex militants collecting billions in surveillance when pipeline are getting busted?

HeroicMeastro:
Thieves are complaining too

Dogalmighty17:
After a 17.5 trillion naira pipeline protection contract?

fitinwell:
because we joke too much in this country...

How can you engage ex militant to secure Government infrastructure?

Federal Government negotiating with bandits..

And yet still searching for who are those financing terrorism in Nigeria...

Using Cat to watch over fried fish.. and wondering who stole the fish...

Funny government...

Fuckyoumod:
Why are we running pipelines from Delta to Lagos? What's happening with crude oil in Lagos State that can't happen in the states where the crude oil is pumped from??

Mtchw...

UniQue84:
you are right but is still a factor and cannot be down play. Hunger may not pass the sufficient condition for crime but a necessary condition.

Most times when am hungry and see people eating or a restaurant were good aroma is emanating from I feel uncomfortable and want to have a taste... but when am filled it even irritates me.

A hungry man is an angry man and an angry man can pull any stunts without considering its consequences.

Exousiang01:
Issues like this is the main reason why no company wants to do business is Delta.

Oil companies were there before but you lots over played your cards, kidnap, vandalism, now they ran off and government turned away.
Delta state receives more money than some 5 states combined yet they can build a deep seaport like Lagos, they are still waiting for FG to come and sweep their living rooms and bath their kids...

My point is Delta state is responsible for what has befallen her.
Both the Delta state government and the people of Delta state
