YENAGOA, Nigeria, Nov 24 (Reuters) - An explosion hit
pipelines at Shell and Eni oilfields in Nigeria's Niger Delta,
resulting in a leak, a community leader said on Tuesday.
A Shell spokesman said the exploration company has shut in
the pipeline and has reported interference on the line about one
kilometre from Ikarama community in Bayelsa state.
Eni was not immediately available for comment.
Shell said the facility has been shut down to curtail the
impact and that a government-led joint team will investigate the
cause of the interference.
Community leader, Ben Warder, said a dynamite-like sound was
heard from the site.
