Just In: Pipeline explosion rocks Lagos community

A pipeline has exploded in the Egbeda area of Lagos State on Friday morning.

The incident occurred at Powerline Bus Stop, around LASU/Isheri road, Isheri.

Although, no casualties have been confirmed as of the time of filling this report, however men of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), security officials, firefighters, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) are already at the scene of the incident.

The explosion, as gathered was due to an electric pole collapse. Eyewitnesses say the fire started after the electricity cable collapsed, leading to electric sparks around the area.

The sparks were said to have gotten to a spilled content of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) around the area, thus triggering the explosion.
