This morning I read the following on the BBC NEWS website:
Nigeria’s president has told security services to uncover the cause of a deadly blast at a pipeline near Lagos.
More than 150 people died on Friday, many burnt beyond recognition, when petrol exploded while gushing from a suspected tapped pipeline.
A spokesman for President Olusegun Obasanjo said he had ordered a thorough police investigation and increased protection for other pipelines.
Some 2,000 people have died in similar incidents in Nigeria in recent years.
I can already see the followup on The Onion:
