Photos: Illegal refinery goes up in flames in Port Harcourt

An illegal refinery went up in flames in the early hours of today at the Woji area in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Residents of the area woke up feeling an intense heat in the middle of the night. They had to run for safety as the fire began to spread. Thankfully no life was lost in the inferno. See more photos from the scene after the cut.
