Tragedy struck yesterday as a pipeline belonging to Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, PPMC, exploded and burnt over 50 persons to death in Aba, Abia State. It was a gory sight as charred bodies of the victims littered the scene, even as over 30 persons are receiving medical attention at different hospitals in the city.
