According to him, the severity of the incident disrupted the peaceful night for many residents in the area. He however expressed a collective hope that such catastrophic events do not repeat.

He said in an interview with Arise TV, “Presently, we are at Reverend Aderinola Street. The street has about 20 buildings but nothing is left, it has been turned into rubble. The surrounding buildings have been partially affected, some totally affected. Over 50 vehicles have been destroyed because of the magnitude of this blast.

And this is because of the negligence and the inability of residents to inform security agents with detailed information to nip such occurrence in the bud.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
