A gas plant has exploded near the international headquarters of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), also called Redemption Camp, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The explosion sent residents into panic mode in the Mowe area. Though the gas plant is not owned by RCCG, it was situated close to the Redemption Camp.
The spokesman for the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Nosa Okunbor, confirmed the explosion on Monday afternoon, August 29.
Okunbor said;
The gas explosion occurred just before Redeemed main entrance. Incidentally, the thing is not owned by Redeemed but it is just by it.
It is by a filling station in a densely populated area.
The LASEMA spokesman, however, did not disclose the casualty figure in the explosion, noting that he will “send more details” later.
According to him, emergency responders including LASEMA officials, have been deployed in the area.
