It was gathered that no fewer than nine people sustained injuries in the explosion.

Speaking to Punch, an attendant who pleased anonymity said the fire that emanated from the point spread immediately, affecting about nine vehicles parked at the premises.

 

He said,

“The fire was so fast that no one could wait to move out of their vehicles from the station. Before the firefighters arrived, we tried our best to see how to reduce its spread but it was too much. It would have been fatal if the place was crowded due to fuel scarcity.”

 

Another person who confirmed the incident, Adamu a fruit seller said the fire began when a gas tanker discharging its content into an underground bunker exploded.

“The fire started when the tanker was inside the station. The explosion was heavy. I saw yellow buses carrying at least three people to the hospital,” he stated.

Also confirming the incident, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Maintenance Agency, Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu noted that the damage was as a result of a damaged pipe, which led to a rapid gas leak and afterwards an explosion.

He added that the explosion led to several burns for two adult people, while about seven other people sustained minor injuries.

He added that about 10 vehicles, both commercial and private, were damaged, including parts of a nearby two-storey building.

 

He said,

“All injured parties were promptly rescued and provided with immediate medical attention by the agency’s pre-hospital care team, in collaboration with LASAMBUS. They were later transferred to LASUTH for further treatment.

The fire was successfully contained by the combined efforts of the agency’s LRT and the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, preventing it from spreading to surrounding areas.

“The site is being cordoned off to ensure safety and to return the environment to normalcy as quickly as possible.”
