Four people were injured to varying degrees after gas cylinders exploded in a gas store in Ijaiye, Agege, Lagos State, Nigeria.
“The gas cylinders exploded as a result of gas leakage and caught fire in the process,” the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Femi Oke-Osanyintolu said.
“No life was lost and the injured victims, which include three females and a male, suffered second-degree burns,” he added.
“The victims have been taken to Lagos University Teaching Hospital,” reports said.
The shop has been cordoned off to avert a secondary incident.
