Following an explosion that rocked a storey building in the Ikotun area of Lagos State on Thursday, business owners and residents escaped death.
The intensity of the explosion has also caused the building to collapse. Around 6.20 p.m., the incident occurred at 17, Obalabi Street, off Governor Road. However, there were no injuries or fatalities.
It was learnt that fire fighters from two different stations immediately attended to the scene after distress calls.
The occupants of the building were said to have escaped to safer places on noticing that fire has erupted from the pent house of the building and this later resulted in an explosion which destroyed property worth millions of Naira.
According to her, it resulted into an explosion due to the volatile furniture materials traded on the ground floor of the two storey – penthouse building.
