Another Bomb Scare In Lagos

An explosion from a tanker loaded with  33,000 litres  of product, believed to be petrol, yesterday, rocked Mile Two area of Lagos.

Although, there was no casualty, several persons reportedly sustained injuries in their bid to escape from what they thought was a  bomb explosion.


Report said the explosion which resulted in an inferno, was caused by a leakage from the tanker. Concerned motorists, who had fire extinguishers, battled to put out the fire to no avail. The arrival of policemen from Festac Division prevented the fire from spreading, as they reportedly joined some sympathisers using liquid detergent, to put out the fire.

The truck which caused a hitch in traffic, was later removed from the road by the policemen.
