Pipeline Explosion Rocks Lagos

Another pipeline explosion has occurred in  Gloryland Estate, Isheri Olofin area of Lagos.

This incident is coming hours after the gas explosion that occurred at Four Point by Sheraton Hotel in the same state on Wednesday leaving no fewer than three persons injured.

The explosion also affected Diamond Estate along Isheri/Lasu-Igando Road.
