Tragic Fire in Lagos: Gas Leak Destroys Two-Storey Structure
A gas leakage in Lagos triggered a significant fire that razed a two-storey building, leaving 11 families homeless.
The incident occurred on Odubanwo Street, Gbinrinmi in Ojokoro LCDA. The fire reportedly began when a resident was frying meat, and the cooking oil caught fire, escalating to a gas explosion.
Four people, including a four-year-old girl in critical condition, sustained burn injuries and are receiving treatment at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
The 14-room building was completely destroyed, displacing its occupants, while local authorities and emergency services worked to manage the aftermath.
