Matthew Ochei, Peter Dada and Godwin IsenyoAt least 24 persons were killed in a gas explosion, road crash and a bandit attack in Delta, Ondo and Kaduna states respectively. Eyewitnesses told Sunday PUNCH that a gas tanker had arrived at the Osadebe Gas Plant along the expressway around 6pm. “They rushed the injured victims to the Central Hospital, Agbor, but there was nothing on the ground to attend to victims. Some victims died on the way before getting to UBTH.”Firefighters battled the inferno for hours before it was eventually put out on Saturday. Meanwhile, some bandits in separate attacks reportedly killed six persons in Chikun and Giwa local government areas of Kaduna State.
