Boom!

1 explosion, a ripple effect. 15 people dead, avoidably.
The tragedy that played out in Abule Ado area of Lagos State yesterday is a reminder of past incidents, the promises to better regulate safety & the trauma that never goes away

Yesterday, my team visited the scene of explosion at Abule Ado area of Festac to access the cause of the explosion and give expert opinion on what is the true cause of the explosion.

From all the informations I gathered from my colleagues who were part of the first responders,
Is basically caused by gas Explosions which was ignited by a struck after an extensively charged atmosphere that emanated from a gas cylinder leakage

The gas explosion also ignited NNPC pipeline which resulted to a combined explosion. The shock wave from the scene of explosion
Travelled far and tore all buildings, or any obstacles that obstructed the wave from it motion.

Property's worth millions were damaged and over 15 people were unfortunately killed after the sad explosion.

There was no traces of IED at the scene of explosion.

The anti-cultism unit at Gbagada, a suburb of Lagos state, is dreadful, but only to the innocent and those unable to pay for a wiped slate. The single bungalow building is notorious for torture, extortion and criminal detention of hapless Nigerians.

Sure! Make sure to also include the video where Percy explains why he's giving discovery to a non-party to share publicly 🙃

Also: if you picked "Screech and Percy are only in this for the grift money" in the betting pool, please see the cashier to collect your LOLbux

About 75 polling units and voting points were affected and some 36,392 registered voters may have been disenfranchised as a result. #CDDAnalysisCentre #NigeriaDecides2019 @HassanIdayat @DrJoeAbah @thecableng @PremiumTimesng
This is extremely disturbing and we call on all the relevant security agencies to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to prevent further incidents of violence likely to disrupt voting and consequently negatively impact the outcome of the elections. #CDDAnalysisCentre
