Many were feared dead Tuesday night after a gas explosion hit Ajao Estate, less than five kilometres to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

An eyewitness told our correspondent at the scene of the incident that the explosion was caused by cooking gas.

Mangled and dismembered bodies of those that died could be seen in the rubbles left behind by the explosion.

Although the number of those that died could not be ascertained yet, it was learned that four first responders at the scene sustained injuries. Cars and houses nearby were also affected.

What is DPR and the others doing to educate people on hazards of cooking gas? A fuel thrice as volatile as PMS is what untrained persons handle carelessly.

NOA and other media houses can educate the people about dangers of LPG through ads on tv and radio. We need to be serious as a country else we won't get anything right

Naija the country where bad news tripples good news

Very sad

Gas explosion is becoming rampant in Lagos.

Government should dig deeper and not just be dismissing these as mere accidents.

Hopefully Lagos isn't infiltrated already.


God rest the souls of the deceased and heal the wounded.
