Fire tears through Nigerian oil hub injuring many
The weekend blaze at an above ground pipeline near Warri in southeastern Nigeria left corpses found among victims sleeping in homes. Officials say over 120 firefighters labored to douse flames as fires spread to Jesse Mossogar and Oghara villages. Ethnic Ijaw youths have recently attacked oil sites over demands for services and representation. The cause of the weekend fire was not linked to those protests.
