Gas explosion destroys shops, vehicles in Abuja








原文原文 / Original Text

About eight business outlets were affected yesterday following a gas explosion in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The incident occurred at about 6am near Liberty Junction, along Arab Road in the satellite town, after a Toyota 4Runner reportedly lost control and crashed into a cooking gas outlet where several gas cylinders were stored.

A resident, Monday Lucky, who operates a business along the road, said the vehicle was heading towards the junction when the driver lost control and rammed into the gas outlet.

He said it was unclear whether the driver was travelling against traffic or had veered into the opposite lane before losing control of the vehicle.

According to him, volunteers rescued the driver, his wife and their child from the vehicle.

“It was the wife of the car owner who sustained a minor injury around her knee. They were rushed to a hospital in one of the commercial tricycles available at the time,” he said.

Lucky said flames broke out a few minutes after the crash.

He said volunteers initially stopped traffic from both directions to prevent vehicles from approaching the area, but a commercial tricycle operator reportedly ignored the warning and passed through the spot, after which the fire erupted.
