Eyewitnesses have described the final moments of Osun State deputy director of safety organisation, O-Ambulance, who was allegedly killed by a gas explosion in the state capital, Osogbo yesterday.

According to them, Olori Opeyemi Omobolawa Fola, the trained senior nurse who was also the President, Rotary Club International, GRA, Osogbo had gone to a station, Grace Gas, in Osogbo to refill her cylinder, when her mobile phone suddenly rang and triggered a bang as she tried to answer the call.

NewsmakersNG learnt that the phone exploded instantly, setting the woman and her car ablaze, as it flung the gas cylinder to a far distance.

The explosion allegedly killed the director and injured many people near the scene.

This is quite unfortunate, Safety precautions are often neglected in the activities of most commercial operators,
Most who refill gas cylinders don't have fire fighting gadgets or posters to warn clients on dos and don'ts. I really hope we would all learn from this sad incident

RIP TO HER

This is very sad. May the Lord console the family left behind

That's very, Madam, at your level you shouldn't be doing menial jobs like going to refill gas cylinder. You shall have househelp for those kinds of chores.
Also cellphone doesn't cause explosion in filling stations. They shall investigate the real cause.
RIP.
