Four persons, a male and three females were injured following a gas explosion at the Ijaiye beside the Apostolic Church in the Agege area of Lagos State.

After being attended to by the Agency’s pre-hospital care, alongside LASAMBUS, the injured victims were said to have been moved to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

LASEMA said the inferno has been completely put out by the combined effort of LASEMA LRT, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service and a post-incident assessment was conducted by the  Agency’s LRT alongside LASG Fire.

It added that the shop has been cordoned off to avert a secondary incident.
