Explosions that were
feared to be bomb blasts threw many into confusion in Shagari Plaza on Moshood
Abiola Way, Garki-Area One on Thursday, March 27, 2014.
Residents and customers
reportedly scampered for safety when two explosions were heard in quick succession.
Eyewitness
accounts however said the first explosion occurred at about 5:17pm when a gas
cylinder exploded. A jeep parked close to the gas dispenser also went up in
flames.
It
was learnt that the gas retailer, who had kept his earnings for the day under
one of the cylinders, was caught in another explosion while trying to save his
money.
Another
witness said the retailer took delivery of the gas supply on Wednesday.
“They
just supplied him the gas yesterday (Wednesday). We are surprised because we still
don’t know what happened. We only heard a big bang,” he said.
The
retailer was said to be receiving treatments at an undisclosed hospital for his
injuries.
