The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has asked residents of Ikeja in Lagos to thread carefully and to avoid open fire due to the gas leakage.
The areas affected include Computer Village, Ikeja Underbridge, Oba Akran, Anifowose and Medical Road.
In a statement issued by Ibrahim Farinloye, who is spokesperson for NEMA (south-west), the agency asks residents to adhere to safety precautions in order to prevent any form of disaster as a result of the gas leakage.
“Residents around Computer Village, Underbridge Awolowo Way, and Oba Akran axis, Anifowose Street, Medical Road must not open shops or use open naked fire for safety reasons,” he said.
“Distressed alert just received indicates massive leakage of gas pipeline around these areas,” Farinloye added.

The Supreme Court in Abuja has broken its silence on the alleged unlawful invasion of Justice Mary Odili of the court by unknown security operatives, describing it as an impunity taken too far.

In its first reaction to the situation, the Supreme Court in a statement by its Director of Press and Information, Dr. Akande Festus, said that the attack was an uncivilized and shameful show of primitive force on the innocent judicial officer.
