Gas Cylinder Explosion

A gas cylinder explosion at a vulcanizing shop in the Kpakungu area of Minna, Niger State, has claimed the life of an apprentice and injured three others.

According to SaharaReporters, it was gathered that the explosion occurred on Wednesday opposite the Kpakungu Centre Mosque, while the shop owner and his apprentices were working.

An eyewitness told SaharaReporters that the cylinder suddenly burst, scattering debris and generating intense heat, which led to the death of one person and the injury of three others.

Efforts made by SaharaReporters to reach the Niger State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wasiu Abiodun, for comment were unsuccessful, as calls and WhatsApp messages went unanswered at the time of this report.
