second coming again, the company had similar incidence at lekki branch few years ago.
The safety procedure of the company should be checked else it will happen again.
This is bound to happen.
Unfortunately, many more such incidences will still be recorded because of the rate at which gas filling plants are springing up without proper regulatory control and safety procedures and apparatus.
Quite unfortunate!
What a pity may God put an end to this in our Country…
