One dies in Ogun explosion

One person was killed on Wednesday while two other persons were injured in an explosion at a government underground petroleum storage facility in Abeokuta, the state capital.

The petroleum storage site under construction was located within the old premises of the Ogun State Road Maintenance Agency, along Quarry Road in Abeokuta.

According to eyewitnesses, mainly the bricklayers working at the construction site, the victims were working on the three underground tankers being relocated from the government fuel dumps at the old secretariat when the explosion occurred.

Other workers around the scene of the incident told journalists that the explosion could be due to the improper management of the welding works by the contractor.

It took the timely intervention of the men of the state fire service to put off the fire from the explosion.

Some of the fire service personnel, who briefed the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Kayode Ademolake,   and other government officials at the scene of the incident, blamed the explosion on the non-observance of rules guiding welding works around such facility.

The corpse of the dead victim was evacuated from the underground tunnel by policemen from the Adigbe Police Station, with the assistance of the fire fighters.

Those injured were also taken to the State General Hospital at Ijaiye, Abeokuta.

The explosion also reportedly damaged the windows of some structures within the old OGROMA complex.
