WARRI \u2013 TWO more bodies were, yesterday, allegedly recovered from the NNPC pipeline explosion site at Sapele, Delta State, even as fire fighters battle to\u00a0 put off the inferno.<\/p>\n

Vanguard also gathered that efforts by volunteers to get to the scene of incident continue to be daunting as the fire was still raging.<\/p>\n

Sources\u00a0 told Vanguard, yesterday, that the casualty figure which had risen to 22 was based on the bodies recovered so far and the one given by the villagers around the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said two more bodies were recovered, which\u00a0 means the casualty figure will\u00a0 be around 22 by now. Anyway, rescue work is still going on after which we will know the actual number of people who died in the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is only a thief that can access the scene except those farming in the area, who are used to the swampy terrain,\u201d the security source said.<\/p>\n

The fire incident, which occurred\u00a0 at bout 7 a.m., close to Eko-Ovwore-Amukpe community in Okpe Local Government Area on Tuesday, also destroyed nearby settlements.<\/p>\n

Suspected vandals had visited the scene in the early hours for their nefarious act but left the place open without blocking the burst pipe, where they allegedly siphoned petroleum products.\u00a0\u00a0 As at press time, billows of smoke were still rising from the scene\u00a0 in a swamp area close to River Ethiope while fire fighters and policemen\u00a0 battled to control the raging fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
