The Lagos State
Police command has refuted claims that the explosion that happened
last night at Creek road in Apapa Lagos was caused by a bomb saying it was
caused by a tanker carrying petrol
Force Public
Relations officer, Ngozi Braide explains
“There is nothing whatsoever
suggesting that it was a bomb explosion. It was a tanker loaded with fuel that
burst into flames. Policemen are on ground there now and we cannot yet
ascertain the casualty figures. But everything is under control,” she said.
In a
contradictory statement, Ibrahim Farinloye, the Spokesperson for the
National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA South-West said the cause of the
fire was as a result of a gas cylinder explosion.
"People were reported to be filling gas into the cylinder before it exploded. The incident happened within Folawiyo Energy Premises but they did not allow fire men into their premises at all” Mr. Farinloye said in a text message to Premiumtimes.
