A residential building was razed with properties destroyed in the early hours of Saturday on Cachol Street in the Ojo area of Lagos State.
The PUNCH gathered that the inferno started after a camp gas exploded in the eight-room bungalow.
The spokesperson for the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, Amodu Shakiri, confirmed the incident.
He said one of the occupants was cooking in the corridor of the building when the explosion occurred.
He said, “One of the occupants of the building was cooking with a camp gas when it exploded and the building was severely burnt with content therein. We also found that the passage was used as their kitchen because there was no specific area identified as a kitchen on the premises. We also counted not less than six camp gases in there.
