One person was reportedly killed while about five others sustained varying degrees of burns 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.
One of the sources, who would not want his name in print, said that the victims got burnt when fire gutted their local refinery site as they were busy refining petroleum products in the creeks.
The police public relations officer for Delta State Command, DSP Bright Edafe, could not be reached for confirmation as of the time of filing this report.
