Reports credited to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) have it
that the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state,
DSP Ali Okechukwu on Friday, December 25, informed that
eight persons died from the inferno, adding that two bodies, a
mother and her baby, were later recovered at a nearby
building.

A scene from the explosion which took place on Thursday,
December 24 in Nnewi, Anambra state. About eight people
reportedly lost their lives.

While regarding the initial report as “alarming and misleading” ,
the police chief said: “After the incident, six persons were
confirmed dead outside the perimeter fencing of the company.
“Two other bodies of a woman and her child were later found
dead in an adjourning building.

“Six other persons who were seriously injured were also
rushed to the University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, and later
referred to the hospital in Enugu.”


On what led to the explosion, Okechukwu said it may have
occurred at a time when domestic gas was being dispensed to
customers, “I think there was disconnect which led to the
explosion,” explaining further that investigation was still
ongoing to ascertain the exact cause of the explosion.


The acting director of the state’s Fire Service, Innocent Mbonu,
who confirmed the report, stated that although some nearby
buildings were affected, six persons died before the service
came.


He said: “Tentative report says the fire, which was extinguished
after a fierce battle, was caused by domestic gas explosion
which distributed fire to some buildings around.”
