Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, Monday,
alleged that the truth concerning the Lagos pipeline explosion has been hidden.
According to NNPC, the explosion occurred around 9 a.m on
Sunday after a truck hit some gas cylinders in a gas processing plant.
The gas plant was located near the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation’s System 2B pipeline’s right of way.
It was also reported that no fewer than 17 persons have been
confirmed dead and 25 others injured after the explosion rocked the Abule-Ado
area, near the International Trade Fair Complex, Amuwo Odofin Local Government
Area of Lagos.
More than 50 buildings in the area were affected by the
explosion, as hundreds of residents were rendered homeless.
However, Fani-Kayode said the massive destruction witnessed
in Abule Ado could not have been caused by the explosion of a gas pipeline as
explained by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC).
“What happened in Lagos yesterday was tragic. So much
destruction &loss of life. Sad. They say it was caused by the explosion of
a gas pipeline but I doubt that. Such massive &widespread destruction
cannot be caused by a pipeline explosion. There is more to this than meets the
eye,” Fani-Kayode tweeted.
