WATCH: How Gas Explosion Killed 20, Left Over 500 People Displaced In Abule-Ado
March 21, 2020
It’s been six days since 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.
But the impact of the explosion and the tragedy it left in its wake will forever haunt the residents.
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.
