On Tuesday night, suspected militants blew up a gas pipeline in the Ogijo area of Ogun state. Since the inauguration of President Buhari’s administration last year, this is the first reported attack on oil installations in the south-western part of Nigeria. Although the Nigerian Police said it is still investigating those behind the attack, if it is linked to the Niger Delta militants after all, then there is a serious cause for concern on the safety of national infrastructure all over the country.
