Panic As Gas Explosion Rocks Lagos On Christmas Eve

Panic as gas explosion rocks Ayobo Ipaja area of Lagos.

It was gathered that the gas exploded around 1 am on Friday Christmas eve.

The Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development, Mrs Bola Shobowale, confirmed the explosion.

“It is true. It happened around 1 am,” she said.

Residents of the area, who took to social media to seek help, disclosed that there are casualties.

However, our correspondent could not immediately confirm that as of the time of filing this report.

One of the residents, @IamHorlapo, posted, “A year ago, we woke up to a gas explosion in Baruwa. Today, it’s another Pipeline explosion in the same Local Government which has claimed life and property. God, have mercy upon us in this community.”
