An explosion that caused a scare in the Oworonsoki area of Lagos metropolis this afternoon has been traced to a 'leaking refrigerator' in a beer shop attached to a residential building in the area.
The affected building is a bungalow located at No. 88, Oworo Road, Oworonsoki, Lagos State.
Four persons who were injured in the explosion have been hospitalized.
Emergency services officials claimed they found some electrical items in the collapsed shop as they carried out their activities on the scene after the incident this afternoon, they claimed not to have found no explosive materials that could suggest it was a bomb.
Speaking on the scene to our correspondent, General Manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Mr. Micheal Akindele said the agency can authoritatively link the explosion to a defective refrigerator in the shop. However, our reporter noted that the refrigerator that reportedly caused the explosion remained largely intact.
Mr. Akindele said gas escaped from the compressor of the refrigerator suspected to be defective and reacted with carbonated drinks in the shop.
The explosion occurred around 1.05pm.
A six months old baby who was injured in the explosion has been taken to intensive care unit of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital while three adults who had minor injuries have also been hospitalized at Afolabi hospital

Let us keep on fooling ourselves. God help you if the next BOKO HARAM attack in Lagos catches one of you in its wake. Then you will regret, why you ever supported a government which felt it was better to keep the truth from you, than own up to its failures and responsibilities.

Which kind false info pple dey spread. Some pple would tink it was bokoharam bomb. Abi una want sey make pple waka enter kanal again?
