But for victims of a gas explosion, the essential commodity is thus seen as a curse rather than a blessing. The Baruwa Gas ExplosionIN the Ipaja area of Lagos, still lies debris from Thursday, October 8, 2020 gas explosion, which occurred at a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plant belonging to Best Roof Gas. Speaking on the Baruwa incidents, Osu said: “The plant in Baruwa was offered approval to construct a gas facility. Sadly, up till today, many Nigerians are not aware that gas cylinders do expire, and that they are as dangerous as bombs when expired. Under the plan, the government signed up with a few manufacturers of gas cylinders to ensure that the country has enough gas cylinders.
