Explosion In Lagos State, 2 Injured and Properties Destroyed

2 injured and properties worth several millions of naira destroyed during an explosion in Orile Agege area of Lagos State.

According to a victim identified as Saidu Mohammed, he said;

"It was learnt that residents of the area said the explosion which jolted a lot from sleep was caused when an high tension wire landed on the roof of a house which had a cooking gas in it.
Victims of the incident appealed to the government to come to their aid after the incident destroyed their properties and goods rendering some homeless and others in debt.
I could not salvage anything from the fire. The most painful aspect is that the money I was supposed to pay into the bank yesterday (Monday), on behalf of my company, got burnt.
I could not pay because the bank had closed. My intention was to pay it in today(yesterday), only for the unthinkable to happen."
