WATCH: A Dark Sunday In Abule-Ado, A Peaceful Lagos Community
March 21, 2020
Residents of Abule-Ado, a community near FESTAC Town in Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos, woke up to a deafening explosion on the morning of March 15 2020, after a truck crashed into gas cylinders stacked in a gas processing plant.
Over 20 people, including an Administrator of the Bethlehem Girls College, Rev. Sister Henrietta Alokha and a family of four, died in the tragic incident.
Until a visit to the community, it is easy to dismiss the extent of residents’ loss as little, especially as the world – and – Nigeria – is focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from lives, affected residents are experiencing a tough time as they remain stranded after losing valuable properties.
