Pregnant Woman Among Nine Injured in Lagos Gas Explosion
Nine persons including a pregnant woman were injured in a gas explosion around the Ajegunle-Apapa area of Lagos State.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) attributed the explosion to a gas leakage which ignited a high-tension cable, causing a fire outbreak in the area known for its gas cylinder trading activities.
“Tragically, nine individuals, including a pregnant woman and several children and adults, suffered varying degrees of burn injuries,” the Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, said late Tuesday.
“They received immediate medical attention from the Lagos State Ambulance Service and are currently undergoing further treatment at the Ajeromi General Hospital and Gbagada Burnt & Trauma Centre.”
Properties damaged following the explosion include four commercial tricycles, six lock-up shops, and a section of a residential bungalow.
But the firefighters managed to salvage nearby structures, including a critical fuel service station, mitigating further losses, LSFRS said.
