One person was allegedly killed while about five others sustained varying degrees of injuries after an explosion rocked an illegal refinery in the creeks of Warri River in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday afternoon.
Sources said that the victims were sighted at Warri Miler Jetty as they were rushed to a private hospital in a fast-moving speed boat.
One of the sources, who prefers anonymity said that the victims got burnt when fire gutted their local refinery site as they were busy refining petroleum products in the creeks.
Details in connection with the source of the explosion were, however, unclear as of the time of filing this report.
