No fewer than five persons, including three children, have been seriously injured when a phone call triggered a gas cylinder to explode and burst into flames in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Abuja.
The explosion took place at the uncompleted building area of Dagiri not far from the Lokoja/Abuja road in Gwagwalada.
Eyewitnesses said the injured have been rushed to Zamad Hospital in the Dagiri area of Gwagwalada.
Eyewitnesses told newsmen that the crisis started when a man who wanted to buy fuel was busy making frantic calls.
“We can’t really say what happened, but all we heard was an explosion, boom”.
At least, four shops were affected by the inferno. (Daily Trsut)
