ICYMI: More than 100 people have been killed in an explosion at an illegal oil refining depot in Nigeria’s Rivers state.

More than 100 people have been killed in an explosion at an illegal oil refining depot in Nigeria’s Rivers state.

Unemployment and poverty in the oil-producing Niger Delta have made illegal crude refining an attractive business but with sometimes deadly consequences. The hazardous process has led to many fatal accidents and has polluted a region already blighted by oil spills in farmland, rivers and lagoons. At least 25 people, including some children, were killed in an explosion and fire at another illegal refinery in Rivers state in October.
