Children, adults killed in jetty inferno sparked by illegal oil bunkering
Two children have been confirmed killed in a fire outbreak at the Nembe-Bonny Jetty Waterfront in Port Harcourt, Rivers.
Many others caught in the inferno are equally presumed dead besides several boats and goods worth millions of naira destroyed.
Sources said a boat loaded with petroleum product suspected to be kerosene caught fire, and sparked across other boats packed at the Jetty.
A source attributed the incident to the handiwork of dealers of illegal and adulterated products.
He said the men of fire service arrived the scene of the incident after several boats and goods belonging to traders at the jetty were gutted by fire .
The State Police Command Public Relation Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni, could not be reached for comment.
Nembe-Bonny Jetty Waterfront is a hive of all kinds of criminal oil bunkering and illegal trading in petroleum products.
