A lady identified as Funmi Adewola, has taken to Facebook to warn Nigerians to be careful when using mobile phone near gas cylinder. The warning is coming after a horrific explosion which happened in her house recently in Lagos. According to her, the gas cylinder was leaking in the kitchen as she and her other relatives tried to fix the burner before it exploded after a message came into the phone.

PHONE IGNITING GAS IS REAL, BE WARNED!

At about 1:30pm on Sunday 20th January, 2018 I was chatting on my phone in the sitting room in my house when I heard an hissing sound. On investigation it was my wife's niece and my Niece's daughter in the kitchen trying to fix burner onto a camp gas cylinder.

When the leaking persist the wife came from the room to help them fix the burner. I kept hearing the hissing sound of the leaking gas so I stood up with my phone in my hand and went into the kitchen to give a helping hand and luckily we were able to stop the lickage but already the kitchen was charged with the gas.

I warned them not to strike matches yet because the gas is much in the kitchen, at that moment a message came into my phone which was on vibration and the next I heard was was the explosion which threw all of us in different direction with different magnitude of burns as you can see in the picture.

I posted this to warn us all to be careful with phone when using gas.

May almighty Allah heal my family."

My view:

If you use gas to cook, please make it a habit never to go into your kitchen with a phone.

No call or message is worth your life, if you need to use your phone light to see, please put it on flight mode.

Same goes to those who use their phone light to refuel their generator.

May Nigeria Succeed...

oh dear this is gross!! wishing yall quick recovery

Chisos...This OP has spoilt my mood today!!

You no even fit put small disclaimer...You say try me?

This is one reason why you should have regular maintenance on gas appliances. Owners should regularly check for leaks with soapy water leak test. I doubt if its actually caused by phone.

I'm very worried about this topic. How is a phone able to ignite a gas cylinder? Practically everyone should be dead by now.

Get well soon

God abeg!!!

It is unlikely that the phone was the source of ignition (except if the phone defective).

It may have been static electricity or some other source.

The myth of a mobile phones causing ignition has been debunked many times. Do a bit of research on it.

The poster didnt know what happened I dont think it has anything to do with phone
May God heal them

Allamdulillahi.
No life was lost.

Thank you Jesus! Wishing you all quick recovery.

FOR the umpteenth time. Phones can not ignite fire.

I’m alright.
You?

I don't think there's a research to that effect....


phone making gas cylinder to cause an explosion, I don't think so, something somewhere must have triggered the explosion



OP and u also concluded that using phone torch light to refuel a generator can also cause an explosion, that one I no go gree lai lai, have been doing that since I bought my GEN about 9yrs ago.

Na just devils work that's all
