Fire engulfs Mobil fuel station in Lagos

A Mobil fuel station located near the Airport Hotel on Obaferni Awolowo Way, Ikeja, Lagos exploded in the Ikeja area of Lagos State on Thursday, causing panic among residents.

While details of the incident are still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, many have speculated that it must have occurred from a gas filling point.

However, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited said the inferno has nothing to do with the compressed natural gas station recently unveiled by the NNPC Gas Marketing Limited and NIPCO.

“The NNPC Ltd wishes to state that the reported explosion at a filling station in Ikeja, Lagos, has nothing to do with the recently commissioned NNPC Gas Marketing Ltd (NGML)/NIPCO Compressed Natural Gas Stations, which are currently functioning and running safely without any incident,” a statement by the NNPC spokesman, Olufemi Soneye said.

He added that the CNG station was not affected by the explosion.

“The NNPC Ltd also wishes to add that the NGML was not affected by the explosion; it is not involved in the activities of the affected station and all NGML facilities in Lagos, including pipelines, metering stations, above-ground installation and CNG facilities are in safe operating condition,” he noted.
