Fani-Kayode doubts Lagos explosion was caused by gas pipeline

The former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to the explosion in Lagos on Sunday.

Reports are that the explosion in Abule Ado area of Amuwo Odofin, Lagos State was caused by gas pipeline.

But the former minister has doubted that claim. He said “There is more” to the explosion “than meets the eye.”

In a tweet on his Twitter handle-@realFFK, he noted that the incident was tragic. “So much destruction and loss of life. Sad,” he said.

He added, “They say it was caused by the explosion of a gas pipeline but I doubt that. Such massive and widespread destruction cannot be caused by a pipeline explosion. There is more to this than meets the eye.”

No fewer than 16 persons were reported killed and over 50 houses destroyed as a result of the explosion.

Among the victims included a father, mother and their two sons, who were on their way to church when the incident happened.

There are still some Nigerians who, like Fani-Kayode, are doubting the report that a gas pipeline explosion caused the tragedy.

Some are calling for a thorough investigation to unravel the real cause of the incident.
