Respite is yet to return to Rivers State as another explosion reportedly struck the Soku oil facility in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area on Sunday, days after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state.

The latest incident affected the Soku facility, operated by Nigeria Liquefied and Natural Gas Limited, marking the third in a series of attacks on critical infrastructure in Rivers State.

Text messages and calls to the company’s spokesperson, Andy Odeh, had yet to be answered at the time of filing this report.

Commenting on the reported explosion, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, said: “We have yet to receive any report of such an incident.”

An insider at NLNG stated that the company would address the situation on Monday.

However, the Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre, YEAC-Nigeria, confirmed the explosion on Sunday.

An explosion accompanied by fireballs was heard and seen in the sky from the facility area, which is difficult to access. The fire is still ongoing at the time of this report, as shown in short videos shared with the organisation by youth volunteers of YEAC-Nigeria,” the centre said.

In sharp contrast, the Soku Kingdom has dismissed reports of an explosion as false.

The General Secretary of Soku Kingdom, Mr Witness Alasia, stated that it was a fire outbreak, not an explosion, along the Soku-Abua-Rumuji right of way, adding that the Soku gas plant—one of the major feeders of the nation’s economy—remains safe and fully operational.

“On behalf of the leadership of the Soku Kingdom, I write to debunk the falsehood circulating on social media that there was an explosion at the Soku Gas Plant. It is disheartening and worrisome that people would mischievously misinform the public with a baseless and untrue story.”

“The public should disregard this misleading and unverified report. We take this opportunity to assure everyone that Soku and its satellite communities are safe and calm. Regards,” part of the statement read.

The incident comes just days after an explosion rocked the Trans Niger Pipeline in the Bodo, Gokana, and Omwawriwa communities in the Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Similarly, on 19 March 2025, a fire broke out at the Port Harcourt refinery.

Recall that on 18 March 2025, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers and announced the suspension of democratically elected authorities.

On Thursday, the National Assembly approved Tinubu’s state of emergency declaration in Rivers State.

The sole administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd), has since assumed office following his appointment by Tinubu.

37-year-old woman, Linda Stephen, has approached a Kaduna Customary Court seeking a divorce from her husband, Felix Stephen, citing his excessive s3xual demands and alleged physical abuse.

In her petition, Linda, a resident of Ungwan Sunday in Kaduna, told the court that she could no longer cope with her husband’s constant need for s3x, which she described as unbearable.

“I urge the court to dissolve this marriage because I can’t stand his excessive sexual urge. He likes s3x too much, and I can’t bear it,” she said. She further alleged that Felix frequently subjected her to long hours of s3xual activity, even when she was in distress.

“Most times, he would have s3x with me from midnight till early hours of the morning. Even when I am crying, he will not stop.

“It has been three months since I moved out of his house. His relatives have been pleading with me to go back to him, but they do not know what I am facing,” she added.

Linda also accused her husband of resorting to violence whenever she refused his advances, stating that he had b3aten her in front of their two children.

In his defence, Felix admitted to his actions but pleaded with the court not to grant his wife’s request, expressing his willingness to change.

“I took my uncles and friends to her parents’ house to plead with her. But she refused to listen to us; instead, she walked out on us,” he said. He further begged the court for time to reconcile with his wife, assuring them that he was ready to control his s3xual urges.

Presiding over the case, Judge John Dauda adjourned the matter until May 6 to allow for reconciliation efforts, urging both parties to maintain peace in the meantime.
