Just In: Pipeline explosion rocks Lagos community
Residents of Surulere, Amuwo Odofin, Oshodi, Ikeja, Alimosho and environs were thrown into confusion on Sunday morning following an explosion.
It was gathered several houses were shaken by the explosion, which also made some collapse.
Affected residents said the loud sound was as a result of a pipeline explosion at Satellite Town that caused some buildings to collapse at Abule Ado.
A resident just said they were in church when the first sound was heard, bringing down the ceiling.
Another resident said a two-storey building nearby also collapsed.
According to multiple reports, the explosion is caused by a pipeline damaged by some suspected vandals.
The explosion happened around Festac-Abule Ado area, with no casualty reported yet.
@volqx: It’s a pipeline around festac-Abule Ado area, no casualties reported yet, it’s not a bomb, the only current known effects are windows being shattered & doors flung open. It’s not a security threat, go about your normal activities.
@tiana_diora: Something exploded in festac just now and people in egbeda heard it loud and clear.. it legit shook buildings in egbeda! I hope people there are safe.
