The National Emergency Management Agency has identified the cause of the Christmas Eve gas explosion that rocked a part of Lagos State in the early hours of Friday.

”The line came in from Ikorodu across Ikeja and other areas. Fire service has been mobilised to provide eagle in case of fire outbreak. Power Service agencies especially Ikeja Electric Distribution Company and others are trying to isolate the 330 Line for safety reasons,” the situation report read.
