Lagos was rocked by a massive explosion in the Iju Ishaga area last night, sparking panic among residents. The incident on Agbado Road, Toyin Bus Stop, unleashed balls of fire and a loud bang, audible several meters away from the scene.

Emergency responders attributed the explosion to a gas tanker that accidentally caught fire. Margaret Adeseye, the Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, stated that the fire was reported at 10:04 pm. Swift action was taken to contain the blaze within the tanker and prevent its spread to nearby establishments, including a Kerosene Petroleum Filling Station.
