A gas explosion, on Friday night, rocked the Gwagwa community in Abuja, leaving residents scampering for safety.
It was gathered that residents were thrown into confusion after a truck reportedly conveying gas exploded in the community around 8.30 pm, near a location known as the Police Junction.
Some eyewitnesses who spoke with Daily Trust said the truck driver had suddenly parked at the spot and alerted people to run.
A resident, Sani Khalid, said a cover attached to one of the tanker’s compartments was blown up, followed by the content discharge.
He said: “And within a few minutes, the truck caught fire and exploded.”
Another resident, Usman Muhammed, said no one could ascertain the level of the damage caused by the inferno, as residents were watching the incident from afar.
