BEVERLY HILLS, May 20, (THEWILL) – There was an explosion at the Olúségun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta on Thursday, with two persons feared dead.
The explosion occurred around 11am at the Marcque Event Centre within the Presidential Library.
THEWILL gathered that a routine cleaning was being done when one of the gas cylinders at the event centre exploded.
The bodies of the dead have been evacuated by a rescue team that arrived at the scene shortly after the incident.
On Tuesday, the Conference Hotel in Abeokuta, owned by former Governor Gbenga Daniel, was hit by an explosion, killing two and injuring three others.
Also, last Wednesday, three persons, including an infant were burnt to death in a gas explosion that occurred in Oke-Egunyan, along NTA Road in Abeokuta when a technician was topping up the gas of a faulty refrigerator.
Barely 24 hours after the incident, another gas explosion occurred on Mercy Road, Panseke, Abeokuta where a technician, Sanya Shonde, was injured, and later had his leg amputated.
