Abule-Ado: Before And After Photos Of A Peaceful Community Rocked By Devastating Gas Explosion

Before Abule-Ado, a community near FESTAC in Amuwo Odofin, suffered a devastating gas explosion on the morning of March 15, 2020 it was a fully packed and relatively peaceful Lagos community.

Since the tragic incident, which resulted in the loss of over 20 lives and over N2bn worth of buildings and properties, the community has become a shadow of its old self. Residents, many of whom have been displaced since losing their homes and belongings, are trying to pick up the pieces of what remains of their once peaceful community.

See photos showing the community before and after the devastating explosion.
