A gas explosion has rocked the Amuwo-Odofin LGA of Lagos state. This was said to have happened around 7pm on Tuesday 13 April 2021 at Iyasoko street, Agboju, Amuwo-Odofin.

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.

As of the time of the report, it was not clear what caused the explosion. However, residents are said to have sustained injuries as a result of the explosion, while some persons are attempting to put out the fire. Also, no casualty has been confirmed.

The incident comes 6 months after a previous explosion rocked the Baruwa area of Ipaja in Lagos state, and 8 persons were reportedly killed during that incident.

1000 ways to die in Nigeria

Omo no be child's. Gas explosion na die oooo. The one I witnessed na Im make me dey sleep dressed overnight. If not fully dressed at least make the cloth near you. Na that day I know say married men dey wear tear tear boxers. Some people undies na natural insecticide. Breasts full street. Yansh everywhere. Na that day I start to pray against war. What of na war? Sadly I lost a friend. Rip shoshy. My fellow manUtd faithful.

If your house near any gas plant or refill centre please japa. Leave. Accidents happen. Money can be replaced. Not life.

I pray no life was lost... It's high time DPR stop lisencing gas stations around populated area

Failed Urban planning

And their is no way back to readdress.

In as much as I sympathize with families and victims involved, I still will state it out that disasters like this will keep happening and claiming life`s.

How people encroach and reside around pipe lines and high voltage lines is alarming.

I know it’s an accident

I want to believe it’s an accident

But the frequency in fire inferno’s in Lagos and most Eastern part of Nigeria is making me think far and wide

Are there no gas plants in the North

Abi accident no Dey happen for North ?


I KNOW I MADE SENSE

I'm glad there are no deaths, Tinoubou would have suffered for it.

On God

Gas explosion et fire outbreak in General is very deadly ... make God protection no leave us

Those gas filling outlets in residential homes should be looked into... the unemployment chain it would affect wont be an easy case either..

the proliferation of refill centres in inner street is an extremely dangerous trend. most of those shops are at close distance to each other.

government regulation doesn't work.

Again
May God protect us all
