Explosion In Lagos Yesternight Was Not A Bomb....



Two explosions occurred in Apapa, Lagos on Wednesday night, with sources claiming that five persons died while many were injured.


According to Punch the explosions occurred almost at the same time, with the first at the entrance to the Folawiyo tank farm and the other inside the facility.
It was gathered that the explosion inside the tank farm left four people dead and many left injured.


According to sources, two petrol tankers were involved in the explosions. The trucks were said to have caught fire after they exploded.
It was also learnt that the fire that followed the explosion inside the terminal was quickly put out.
The Lagos State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said, “I learnt that a tanker carrying fuel burst into flames. The Divisional Police Officer of the area and other policemen are at the scene of the incident.”
When contacted, the Director, State Fire Service, Rasaq Fadipe, said it was a gas explosion and not a suicide bombing as claimed by some eyewitnesses.


He said, “Suicide bomber? That is not the information I have. We were told of a fire outbreak caused by the explosion of a gas cylinder in an energy company.

“I cannot give you exact details because my men could not get easy access to the place. But they are on ground and casualty details will be given when the threat is brought under control.”


*I hope this calms all the people who called me screaming Lagos was burning.To the other lady whose drivers phone was found near the corpses,i hope he is okay?please send me sms to confirm you got home safe.

    2. It happened near my office. I was driving out when it happened. Everybody left their cars and ran for their lives, me too o....I thank God I was still fat from the explosion.
      A container fell on a car and I thank God it was the bonnet it fell on. This morning, a 40 feet truck fell and blocked the road. Traffic in apapa now no be here.....

      It's amazing how the clearing agents use rickety trucks without belts to carry their luggage, I just tire.

    In another news, I think d Pepper we R having right now is d ORIGINAL Pepper and not an inposter or some1 with slip personality disoder like some pple think. For Pepper 2 kno my Fura Da Nono days, then I give it up 2 her.
    I think d lack of sugar and ginger in her recent comments is due 2 her mood or smthg so we shld jes tryna accept her d way she is.
    Dear Pepper, i'm not looking 4 u any longer o, even if u were lost b4, I'm happy dt I've found U!
