the explosion which rocked Abule Ado community of Lagos State earlier today, was caused by a truck which struck gas cylinders in the community.

The corporation explained that preliminary findings indicated that the impact of the explosion was so huge that it led to the collapse of nearby houses and damage to NNPC pipeline on which efforts are being made to curtail the resultant fire

The emboldened clearly explains the magnitude of the explosion.

Gas explosion na bomb o.



NNPC should take responsibility for this without playing any politics.

In the first place, structures whose failure can be this disastrous shouldn't be any where close to residential areas. Where they have been made, it is the responsibility of the corporation to prevent the occupation of such areas. Obviously, it failed in doing that.

Additionally, mechanism should have been emplaced to ensure that on no account should a truck or any vehicle be able to access the area, let alone anywhere close to the pipeline.

Now that NNPC has agreed with the loss, it should swing into action to compensate immediately. Though, lives lost can't be compensated, at least it should be mitigated.

I don't believe this crap. It was one big deep sound of bomb that shook Lagos and other neighbouring states. If they were cylinders, there would be multiple shots and it would have not destroy houses kilometres away by it's vibratio.

I don't think it's NNPC fault that lands in that vicinity were sold n houses built on them but the fault of Lagos State government n its agencies. Some house owners there have C of O. How did they get it? Who certified the area for residential? Who approved the buildings n gave them building codes? Certainly not NNPC.
