Gas explosion claims lives in Nigeria

NO fewer than 15 persons were, yesterday, feared dead with 40 others hospitalised with various degrees of injuries following a gas explosion at
Monaco Gas Station situated in the premises of Natson Petroleum Nig. Ltd., in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State.

It was gathered that the explosion was caused by gas leakage from one of the reservoirs at the gas station. According to reports, two motorists, who first noticed the leakage, attempted to flee but collided and went up in flames. About 17 vehicles, including two fuel tankers, motorcycles and three tricycles caught in the inferno, were burnt to ashes.

Meanwhile, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who arrived Lafia, the state capital few hours after the gas explosion, in continuation of his consultation visits to state chapters of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of the party primaries, headed to the Lafia Specialist Hospital, where he commiserated with victims of the fire incident. He commended the swift response of the emergency management agencies and management of the hospital and prayed for the quick recovery of the victims.
