But there are no residential apartments where the tank farms are situated....the Wilmer residential is well across the road on the other side...

So what is amiss here?

tundebj: @ilugun boy, so how dd d fire get 2 d 2 story & 3 story buildings?

Honestly..am still wondering. Unless the fire have to cross the expressway...

berem: How can a petroleum depot tank be located near residential buildings? Na wa o!

Hope no casualties sha?

something that got to a building, why would there not be Casualty?

I blame GEJ for this.

Guess its time we took safety issues more seriously. Accidents don't just happen.

Too many residential buildings are in hazardous locations.
What's wrong with our Ministry of housing and whatever they call themselves?

I don't blame them sha, a state like Lagos without plan
If you tell the residents to move for their own safety they'll protest.

Obviously many people commenting here don't know the layout of the tank farms in Apapa from the Coconut/Trinity axis down to the Folawiyo tank farm on Creek road.

Se una no dey sleep for here ni?? una tire mi o

Fire fighter responded on time,and the fire was killed with with water,no casualty just part of the buildings wer burnt...I don't know why dey would allow a fuel tanker to park in residential area...we thank God the fire didn't spread to other buildings

A petroleum product tanker is very different from a petroleum product tank depot....

We should endeavor to always put news in proper context to avoid unnecessary anxieties .

I hope somebody is hold responsible for this?

Painful

donphilopus: Full Details

FOUR people were early Tuesday injured in an explosion that rocked a gas company along Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos State.

There are, however, two different accounts of what led to the incident as the police and National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) gave two versions of the fire incident.

The police in the state have begun investigations into the cause of the explosion, which created serious panic among residents of an housing estate, directly opposite the company.

According to NEMA, three people were burnt when they allegedly scaled the fence of Second Coming Gas Coming to steal gas from one of the cylinders.

Ibrahim Farinloye, the spokesperson of NEMA, while speaking with the Nigerian Tribune said the incident occurred around 5 30 in the morning on Tuesday.

He also said that the company denied that the injured people were their workers allegeding that they had forced their way into the company through the back fence.

Meanwhile, policemen from the state police command claimed that the explosion might have occurred as a result of an ignition from a cell phone.

The acting imagemaker in charge of the command , Damasus Ozoani , said that four people were injured in a fire incident that occurred at the gas company.

He added that the injured victims had been rushed to Akodo General Hospital , where they have continued to be treated for burns.
