Gas explosion rocked again in Lagos and it has been a trend of tanker explosion, pipeline burst, for the most residents of Lagos.
The explosion was said to have happened around 7pm on Tuesday at Iyasoko street, Agboju, Amuwo-Odofin.
The incident comes months after a previous explosion rocked the Baruwa area of Ipaja in Lagos state.
Confirming the development, Nosa Okunbor, spokesperson of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), said officials of the agency are on their way to the scene.
There’s no end in sight as the Lagos State government has not been able to take bold and concrete steps, especially with regards to structures constructed along pipelines.
The cause of the explosion could not be ascertained as at Press time. However, it is an all too similar experience of human activities in a densely populated urban city. If the government isn’t going to be bold, more explosions are still to come.
Some residents are said to have sustained injuries as a result of the explosion, while some persons are attempting to put out the fire.
