The explosion occurred at the Akinbo Jetty at the Atlas Cove in Ilado Community of Lagos State.

System 2B supplies fuel to the western zone. Imodagbe said that the vandalised pipeline at the Akinbo Jetty had been repaired. NAN reports that the pipeline was vandalised on Wednesday morning.

The vandalism resulted in an explosion and fire that burnt three boats suspected to have been used by the vandals.
