The gas plant explosion
that happened yesterday in Nnewi, Nnewi Local Government Area of Anambra State,
has killed no fewer than 100 people (including some in their homes), wounded
many, 60 cars destroyed and 50 motorcycles.
According to an eye
witness, the fire which emanated from Inter Corp Oil Limited (LPG Gas Plant),
was caused by an explosion that occurred when a truck was making an attempt to
discharge its content without waiting for the mandatory cooling time while
customers were refilling at the same time.
Others said some victims
would have been rescued, but the fire went up so fast making rescue efforts
almost impossible. The Police have confirmed the incident, and the Government has
described it as unfortunate.
