Conoil Petrol Station Explodes opposite NNPC Towers in Abuja by FoxyFlow(m): 3:15pm On Dec 05, 2013
There was a loud explosion right now and we all ran outside, ....


Details coming shortly

Edited:

I was in the office doing some stuffs, okay, I was cutting names to paste on some envelopes which contains letters that are going out. I had finished cutting it and had even started pasting them when there was a loud explosion.

I needed nobody to tell me to sit still. Since I was in Kano when BH attacked, I know it is better sitting put and checking out the situation before venturing outside. This I did for some time. Now, I went downstairs and took the first two pictures from the safety of the office complex. I don't know if it was a bomb attack so I no wan just waka go kpai for nothing.

I ran back upstairs and started the topic immediately since I wanted information. I was restless as nobody was commenting. I just ran back down and proceeded to walk to the scene of the explosion. There, right in front of me was Conoil Petrol Station burning. It was really crazy as a large crowd had gathered. Men, My liver no allow me pass those tough looking military guys.

Men, na here I go stop o. I get the video and some gossips on how the whole thing carry start. Me just dey pray make people no too die.

Another thing, Fire Service take like 30 minutes before them come. Kai, NNPC just dey control the fire make e no enter their building.


Sorry guys, I did not use English here. I want everybody make them understand and moreover, I be tatafo journalist.....

Abeg it is not yet confirm if it is bomb blast, but at the moment, it is conoil fiiling station opposite NNPC towers that is on fire. And the loud blast heard is as a result of the underground tank exploding.

I also feel the Total feeling station next to conoil might also be on fire

Since you created this topic 4 minutes before I did. I guess this will get to the front page.

The explosion shook my office and everyone here assumed it was NNPC on fire.

Ambulances and Police vans have been passing through.

Nobody knows what is happening.

But everyone is praying that it is not BH

I still see thick black smoke
