Four people are under intensive care at a Lagos hospital following a Monday morning gas explosion in the Agege area of the state.

The incident which happened in the wee hours of the day was caused by leakage of gas cylinders from a shop, beside Apostolic Church, in Agege.

Three women and a man who were injured in the incident have been rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH for treatment.

No casualty was recorded in the explosion but the victims suffered second degree burns. 

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency on Monday said emergency responders were able to put out the fire before escalating to other buildings in the area. 

โ€œA man and three women have sustained injuries after a gas explosion at the Agege area of Lagos State,โ€ the agency said.

Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, the permanent secretary of LASEMA said the victims suffered second degree burns and have been taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

โ€œNo loss of life. However, four adults (three females) and an adult male sustained various degrees of injuries (second degree burns) as a result of the incident and have been attended to by the agencyโ€™s pre-hospital care, alongside LASAMBUS,โ€ he said.

โ€œThe victims have also been moved to Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

โ€œThe inferno has been completely put out by the combined effort of LASEMA LRT, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service.โ€

Mr Oke-Osanyintolu noted that an evaluation will be conducted by the agency, adding that the operation of the shop has been shut down to avert future incidents.

โ€œA post-incident assessment was conducted by the agencyโ€™s LRT alongside LASG Fire. The shop has been cordoned to avert secondary incidents. The operation had been concluded,โ€ he noted.
