Again, Gas Explosion Destroys Vehicles, Shops In Niger

Barely a month after a petroleum tanker explosion exploded at Dikko Junction on the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway in Niger State, a gas explosion has occurred in Sabon Wuse in Tafa local government area of the State on Sunday.

Sabon Wuse is about three kilometres from Dikko Junction, where the last tanker explosion occurred. The latest explosion occurred when the product was being offloaded.

While confirming the explosion, the Director General of Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA), Abdullahi Baba Arah, said:
“one Tasiu Gas Plant, beside Kalasma Filling Station, Sabon Wuse, along Kaduna Expressway, got exploded and busted into fire.”

He, however, said no life was lost in the incident, which destroyed vehicles and shops nearby.
