No fewer than two persons are feared to be dead in an early morning inferno caused by a gas explosion in the Magodo area of Lagos State.
The incident, which occurred on Monday morning, precisely took place at the Second Coming Gas Plant located on CMD Road, Magodo.
Many people were reported to have been injured following the fire purportedly spreading to other properties in the neighbourhood.
Second Coming Gas Plant is a popular gas station in the neighbourhood, which is a highbrow residential area.
The fire was said to have resulted from a gas leakage from one of the trucks in the compound, which ignited when a vehicle with a faulty exhaust drove past at that period, thereby resulting in the sudden explosion.
At the scene of the incident are men of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), LASAMBUS, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and security operatives.
