An explosion rocked the Abule Ado area of Lagos state in the early hours of this morning, 15th of March 2015.

The National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) put the death toll at 15 as of Sunday evening, a family of 4 and 11 others.
There are reports on social media that a beautiful couple met their untimely death in the explosion.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said a truck which hit gas cylinders around the corporation’s pipeline right of way triggered the explosion.

Many houses were destroyed while vehicles got damaged in the explosion which reverberated across Nigeria’s most populous city.

Residents and witnesses counter their losses. At the headquarters of the Lagos province 3 of the Redeemed Church of God (RCCG) located on 24 Road, Festac town, the explosion which occurred more than a kilometre away from the church premises, shattered glass windows, injuring worshippers.

A parish of the First Baptist Church near the RCCG parish also lost a part of its roof. The roof of a parish of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) located at 7th avenue, Festac, was also blown off in addition to that of the Ark Parish of the RCCG at first avenue.

The Odic Plaza, a motor parts mall and warehouse, Bush Bar Hotel, Green Horse Plaza which houses tyres, Arch Angel Catholic Church, Chino Plaza with many goods in it, and a mechanic village, all located inside the Trade Fair Complex, Ojo, were all hit by the explosion.

What a sad way to die.

May God comforts all those directly affected by this painful loss.

Oh no. This is terrible.

Somehow I doubt only 15 people lost their lives. I really doubt

Oh God !so many problems in this world ...so many ways to die in my country. I guess life in this part of the world is a risk..

May God rest the souls of all the departed and comfort their loved ones.

But I am reading a lot of Igbo names here.... Not to be insensitive..are you sure it's not a plot against we Igbo people?

NNPC pipeline in residential area is a disaster about to happen

It shall not be well with anyone directly or remotely responsible for this catastrophe.

RIP to the dead.
May God protect us all.

Stupid title, does beauty saves people from dying. The world is not our home, don't be too comfortable. I refuse to cry.

Must you bring tribe into everything? I tire for you

Beautiful couple.

May their souls rest in peace

May their souls rest rest in peace.

Lagos is one of the worst places to live.

After North East, fear Lagos.

While it's true there are no terrorists there, there are other 1000 other ways to die.

From pipeline explosion, to 7ft container falling on you, to stress, traffic, tanker explosion, trailer colliding with a small vehicle, yahoo boys using our girls, and the list goes on.

That place needs serious decongestion because it's too choked.

Everybody wants to live in Lagos, and because of that, somebody will go and sell land for you on a ticking time bomb.

Abuja is the place to be, at least, with much, much less troubles than Lagos.

Again RIP to the beautiful couples.

Lord have mercy. This is sad.

in such an heavy explosion, it would be lies from the pit of hell of they report on 15dead. The location is a well developed place where people live already not a place that's under construction.

But I am reading a lot of Igbo names here.... Not to be insensitive..are you sure it's not a plot against we Igbo people?

You have serious mental issues. You're indirectly insulting the Igbo tribe for dominating an area designated for pipeline?

And what do you have to say about the event at Abule-Egba? An attempt by the Yorubas to wipe out the Yorubas?

Such a sad news. Journey well folks!

The guy is my friend's brother. I doubt if this incidence is truly gas explosion because it looks more of bomb blast. I pray their soul find peace.

What a cute couple.

Rest on...

Rest In Peace cute souls

God save us from disaster

RIP to the deceased.
